Word Roots Puzzle

A game for learning words through their roots. I struggled with English vocabulary for years. Flashcards and memorization never stuck for me. Then I learned that words break down into roots, prefixes, and suffixes, and suddenly I could guess words I'd never seen before. I built the app I wish I'd had. Word Roots Puzzle teaches vocabulary the way etymologists do: by breaking words apart into the roots, prefixes, and suffixes they're built from. Once you see the pattern in one word, you start seeing it everywhere, and vocabulary stops being something you memorize and starts being something you understand. HOW IT WORKS Each puzzle gives you a word broken into its root components. Match the pieces, learn the meaning behind each part, and watch your vocabulary grow word-family by word-family, not one isolated flashcard at a time. THREE TRACKS, BUILT FOR DIFFERENT GOALS ESL ESSENTIALS (120 words, 3 volumes) Core vocabulary for intermediate to upper-intermediate English learners, drawn from the Oxford 3000/5000 word lists. SAT & GRE PREP (120 words, 3 volumes) Advanced academic vocabulary for standardized test prep, sourced from the Oxford 5000 and Cambridge English Vocabulary Profile. MEDICAL TERMS (200 words, 5 volumes) Medical terminology built from the same Greek and Latin roots used across anatomy, pharmacology, and clinical vocabulary, sourced from Harvard Health Publishing's medical dictionary. All five volumes together approach the scope of a community-college Medical Terminology course. WHY ETYMOLOGY? Most vocabulary apps ask you to memorize word after word with no connective thread. Word Roots Puzzle teaches the roots themselves, so a single root you learn once (like "path" = feeling/suffering) unlocks the meaning of dozens of related words (sympathy, pathology, apathy, empathy) instead of just one.
