Instant semantic recall
When you encounter a difficult word in a novel or movie, having to stop and think for 5 seconds ruins comprehension. To read fluently, your brain must recognize word meanings in a fraction of a second.
Meaning Match trains this rapid semantic connection. By pairing clear definition clues with 4 distinct word choices, you build the instant recognition needed for effortless reading and listening.
Fast, focused rounds
Simple to pick up, challenging to master. Meaning Match gives you a focused workout without ads, timers, or unnecessary interruptions.
Definitions and translations are paired with real contextual usage, avoiding the ambiguity of abstract synonym drills.
Short 90-second rounds fit easily into your morning routine, commute, or pre-reading warm-up.
Levels automatically refresh to focus on words you missed or new vocabulary discovered in recent reading.
Recognition + Production
Language mastery has two sides: receptive vocabulary (recognizing meaning) and productive vocabulary (recalling spelling and writing).
Use Meaning Match to sharpen fast recognition, then switch to Spelling Forge to assemble letter tiles with tactile iPhone haptics. Together, they turn unfamiliar reading vocabulary into words you permanently own.
Personalized to you
Generic quiz apps serve random vocabulary lists created for someone else. TeakReader's Arcade generates levels directly from the EPUB books, Project Gutenberg classics, movies, and TV subtitles in your library.
The game selects eligible unmastered words and prioritizes the highest-frequency vocabulary across your collection. As you complete levels, solved words are archived and subsequent levels automatically draw from your remaining words.
