The "words." Chrome extension is a simple yet powerful tool designed to expand your vocabulary one day at a time. With a clean, unobtrusive interface, it introduces a new English word daily, complete with its definition and an example sentence to help you understand and use it effectively.

Unlike other complex vocabulary apps, words. focuses on interesting, proper English words that are not overly technical or flashy, often leaning into quirky or hypothetical terms. Install the extension to add a convenient browser button that you click when ready to learn your word of the day. Words update once every 24 hours, functioning like a tear-off calendar, encouraging consistent and engaging vocabulary growth.

Risk impact

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
