The vocabulary quiz tests whether you can match a short definition to the correct English word. Questions are drawn from Word Helper's Word Explorer — the same definitions, pronunciations, and word families you can study on each word page. It is a quick way to practise recalling words actively, rather than only recognising them on a page.

Why it works
Practise recall, not just re-reading
Vocabulary quizzes can help many learners practise recall more actively than rereading a list. Use the quiz as one part of a regular review habit, alongside reading and writing — recalling a word before checking the answer makes you retrieve it from memory.
Use this quiz as the second step after reading a word's full page in Word Explorer. Read the definition, examples, and synonyms first. Then test yourself here. Return to any words you missed and re-read them before quizzing again.
Short practice sessions can be useful for reviewing words, but results vary by learner and study method. Spacing a few short sessions across several days tends to suit many learners better than one long session.

Does the quiz give feedback on wrong answers?

How can I use this quiz to learn vocabulary effectively?

Testing yourself before reviewing (often called active recall) can help many learners practise more actively than only re-reading a list.
