Four things about every word

Say it

Every word recorded in a native voice. Japanese and Swiss German also carry example sentences you can play.

Spell it

Kanji, kana and romaji together. Romaji sits under every kana until you switch it off.

Use it

Real example sentences, the topic a word belongs to, and how common it is.

Write it

Kana tracing and kanji stroke order, stroke by stroke, on the character sheet.

How it’s made

Words

1,597 Japanese and 1,739 Swiss German (Zürich dialect), ordered by real frequency, deduplicated and checked

Memory

Spaced repetition on the FSRS algorithm; fill-in-the-blank practice puts words back into their sentences

Honesty

The progress view shows only what your reviews support. It will not invent a streak

Privacy

Runs entirely on the phone. No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. It never connects to the internet

I built Wordset because I am learning both languages and wanted one quiet app that only does vocabulary. I use it every day, so it stays honest.
