What is The Observatory: Daily Word?

The Observatory: Daily Word is a vocabulary app for curious minds. Every day a new word is waiting: focus the viewfinder to discover it, learn what it means, how it's used and where it comes from, and then put it to the test.

  • Three challenges per word: Comprehension, Usage and Mastery (true or false, pick the sentence, spot the odd one, fill in the blank, match the pairs, spelling and stress). Every answer comes with an explanation.
  • Review (spaced repetition): your words come back right before you'd forget them.
  • Atlas: every word becomes a star in your own galaxy, with a constellation for each category, search and a map.
  • Library and catalogs: all your words in one place, sorted into your own catalogs, with notes.
  • 3D companions: Kepler the owl, Vera the octopus, Sagan the fox and friends react to your answers; dress them up with the points you earn.
  • Streaks, reminders, home-screen widgets and a weekly leaderboard with friends.
  • More than 20 categories, from everyday language to mythology, philosophy and astronomy. The whole app works in English and Spanish.

Free to download, with ads. No subscription: everything is unlocked with the points you earn.
