Built for remembering
10,000+ words · 23 categories · 5 difficulty levels
01 — Discover
Tell Vernac your job and interests once. After that, every word is chosen for you — and every example sentence is written for your world. A courtroom if you’re in law, a client brief if you’re in design. Never a generic list.
02 — Retain
Meaning match, fill-in-the-gap, AI-graded sentence writing, a pronunciation challenge, and timed speed rounds. Five ways to make a word stick, brought back by spaced repetition right before it would fade.
03 — Know where you stand
Thirty adaptive questions place you on a five-level scale and tell us exactly which words to teach next — so you never start from zero, and never waste a session on words you already know.
04 — Live with it
Home screen widgets and lock screen wallpapers put a word in front of you without opening the app. The best session is the one that happens passively.
“Context is more powerful than a definition. A word you’ve met in a sentence stays with you longer than one you’ve only looked up.”
— The idea behind VernacBuilt for how you actually talk
Sound sharper in meetings, write cleaner emails, and say precisely what you mean — without reaching for the same six adjectives.
Dedicated word banks for the GRE, SAT, IELTS, and TOEFL, tuned to how each exam actually tests vocabulary.
23 categories of rare, beautiful, and untranslatable words — collected because they’re worth knowing, not because you’ll be tested on them.
