About the application:

Verbivore is a word mini game like no another. It will try your knowledge of English and present you that - in fact - you don't know it. An educated native English speaker knows about 35,000 words. Shakespeare knew about 67,000 words. If this seems like a lot, it's not. It's a little fraction of what the English language actually is. How a lot of words are there in English? Truth be told, nobody knows. Some dictionaries list hundreds of thousands, some say that there are millions. And then, fresh words are invented all the time. But no matter your background, proficiency, or education, there are hundreds of thousands of words you've never heard of, words you have no clue what they mean, words that don't seem to belong to the English language. But they do. To create things worse, for every obscure true English word, we created up variety of fake ones. Your goal in this mini game is to pick the true words out of an ocean of fake ones. You think it's simple? Let's test you. Dagnasty, govison, inauration, tralse. Which one of these is true? Yes, that's right, none of them are true, all are fake. Except for the fact that we are pulling your leg: none of these words are fake, you can look up all of them in a dictionary. See? Verbivore presents you with sets of four words: one true, three fakes. Your goal is to choose the true word in each set of four. After you finish a round of twelve sets, you can learn what the words mean, and you can reveal the true words if you chosen a fake one. Words are grouped in thematic categories, such as law, melody, astronomy, or mathematics, and a lot of others. We have more than 150 categories to push you over the limits of your English proficiency. As the title says: this is the preview of the mini game. In this ver you have only 11 categories and only one play mode, with 30 levels of increasing difficulty. We will be releasing a lot of more categories and play modes soon, so hold an eye for the updates. Awesome luck!
