Learn new words with Logophile Chrome extension

Logophile is a Chrome extension called Logophile that transforms new tabs into flashcards to help you learn words and expand your vocabulary. With Logophile, you can use one of the 3 included word lists or add words of your own. Each time you open a new tab, Logophile will display a new word from your list and provide the definition and an example sentence. You can mark words as 'Learned' once you've mastered them, and choose from 20 different color options to customize your new tab.

User reviews

I would give this 5 stars for English. But I thought I could have custom words and custom definitions. It seems custom word lists is just for English and there's no way to add definitions. Even stranger - when I added Japanese words, the extension said "No words available from the selected Lists". Maybe I'm doing something wrong? There do appear to be words on my list, but they do not have definitions. So for the "add words of your own" feature failing me and wasting my time I gave it the lower rating. Sorry :(

Ryan, I like this app, but I use Momentum as my home tab. Is there a way to still use the app without forcing it to be the new tab?

This is awesome extension! Thanks a lot Ryan! Could you please add the International Phonetic Alphabet spelling to the word as the pronunciation button does not work on some words sometimes. Also if you could add an ability to amend the definition and an example for the word by the user, that would tick all the boxes!
