Questions, answered

Setting up the widgets, what's free, and how the words find you.

How do I add Wordify to my iPhone lock screen?

Touch and hold your lock screen, tap Customize, then tap the widget row below the clock and pick Wordify from the list. The widget shows your current word with its translation and refreshes on its own through the day. Requires iOS 16 or later.

Step-by-step guide, with screenshots

How do I add a vocabulary widget to my home screen?

On iOS, touch and hold an empty part of the home screen, tap the + button, search for Wordify and choose a size. On Android, long-press the home screen, open Widgets, find Wordify and drag one into place. There are two widget types: the word widget and the streak widget.

Step-by-step guide, with screenshots

Can I get a word of the day on my lock screen?

Yes - and more often than once a day, if you want. Words rotate automatically on a schedule you set (5 minutes to 3 hours on Android; a device-managed timeline on iOS), so each glance can bring something new. On iOS the lock screen widget shows it directly; on Android the persistent notification stays visible on the lock screen.

Is Wordify free to use?

Yes, Wordify is free to download with a generous free tier. New users also get a 7-day full premium trial on first install. No account or sign-up required. Saving a backup file and restoring are free for everyone; cloud backup to iCloud or Google Drive is part of Premium.

Can I move my words and progress to a new phone?

Yes. Open Settings, then Backup and restore. You can back up to Google Drive, which works on iPhone, iPad and Android, so you can switch platforms; to iCloud, which restores on iPhone and iPad only; or to a backup file you save or share yourself. A backup holds your words, progress, streak and the pictures on your custom words. Saving a backup file and restoring are free; cloud backup is part of Premium. There is no Wordify account: backups go to your own storage, and we never receive them.

Which platforms does Wordify support?

Wordify is available for both Android (7.0+) and iOS (16.1+). Download it from Google Play or the App Store.

How many languages does Wordify support?

Wordify supports 10 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, French, Estonian, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian - in any combination as source and target language.

What training modes does Wordify offer?

Wordify offers 5 training modes: Flashcards (with spaced repetition), Spelling (scrambled letter tiles), Word Search (letter grid puzzle), Picture Match (visual learning), and Sentence Builder (grammar practice).

Does Wordify work offline?

Yes, learning in Wordify works fully offline. Your words, word collections and all training modes are available without an internet connection. Only a few optional extras, such as image search, cloud backups and adding words by photo, need one.

What is passive learning in Wordify?

Wordify keeps your current study word visible in your device notification shade throughout the day. Every time you glance at your phone becomes a vocabulary moment. On Android you can even mark words as learned directly from the notification.
