What is words.?
Words. is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your vocabulary by introducing a new English word each day along with its meaning and an example sentence. Designed for the curious reader, it focuses on practical words that are suitable for everyday use. The application operates subtly, only appearing when the browser button is activated. A new word is revealed every day, providing a consistent and interesting way of learning.

Summary

An extension that is aptly named - it will provide you with words to increase your vocabulary, nothing else. Each day a new word, including its definition and an example sentence.

Our words are neither exceedingly narrow technical terms nor dazzling but largely hypothetical, like a word for a fear of cupcakes for example. They are proper English words that you theoretically could (although depending on your current audience not necessarily should) use in everyday conversation.

Upon installation, the extension will add a small browser button. Clicking it will produce your daily word. It will never introduce itself unless you click the button.

You can click the button as often as you like, but a new word will only appear overnight. Each day has its own nugget of vocabulary, like a tear-off calendar.

Great extension. I wish it had a pronunciation guide for each word.

The best of its kind. Has some really interesting words for you.

I feel that it would be more amazing with a history log that tells you all of the words you have seen.
