Way 1 of 5
Smile or Frown
Every word keeps company. Its Smiles mean the same thing, and its Frowns mean the opposite.
Runs on: spiritedsluggishboldly
Is the pair a Smile (same meaning) or a Frown (opposite meaning)?
Every one sorted. That's Smile or Frown, run on this unit's words.
Way 2 of 5
Word Family
Learn the part a word is built from, and the whole family comes with it.
Runs on: eagerly
Match each word part to what it means, then see the family it builds.
Word part
What it means
Learn one small ending, and you meet a hundred words for free. Once -ly is yours, boldly, swiftly, and gladly build themselves.
Both pairs matched, and a whole family lit. That's Word Family.
Way 3 of 5
Word Detective
No dictionary needed. The sentence around a word gives its meaning away.
Runs on: voyageharbordepart
The sentence around the blank supplies the meaning. No glossary, just the clues.
Every case closed on the evidence alone. That's Word Detective.
Way 4 of 5
Many Hats
Some words work more than one job. The job decides which character owns the word.
Runs on: scramble
Sort each sentence by which character owns the word doing its job there.
Sort by the job, not the spelling. The same word can wear a verb hat in one sentence and a noun hat in the next.
Every hat on the right head. That's Many Hats.

The Mayor and Slang can mean the same thing. The moment picks the word.

The Mayor and Slang mean the same thing. Match his formal word to Slang's streetwise one.
The Mayor says
Slang says
Same meanings, two wardrobes. That's Two Ways to Say It.
