WordHunter for iPhone is a feed of short clips with subtitles. Every word in the subtitle is tappable. Tap one you do not know and you get a clear definition of the sense that line actually intends, not a list of every meaning the word has ever had.

Free to download on the App Store. iOS 13.0 or later.

Every word keeps the sentence it came from

The words in your treasury are not from a list somebody else wrote. Each one is a word you ran into yourself, and it remembers the clip and the line it was spoken in, so you learn the word and the moment together.

The feed follows your level

• A1 to A2: slow, clear speech and short lines.
• B1 to B2: ordinary conversation at its real pace.
• C1 to C2: idiom, slang and people talking over each other.

Change the level whenever you like.

Review that makes it stick

A two-tap review session built on spaced repetition. Forget a word and it comes back soon. Know it and it waits longer each time.

Watch your hoard grow

Every word you catch becomes a coin in your chest. The more you review a word the brighter it shines, from raw metal to gold to gem.

Also on Mac and Windows

WordHunter for Mac and Windows catches words from anything on screen with one keystroke, and every word lands in the same treasury. Entirely optional. The phone app works perfectly on its own.
