About Vocab Recall Crossword
A crossword puzzle game for strengthening vocabulary recall.
Recognition and understanding of vocabulary often far surpasses recall of vocabulary due to the disparity between the frequency at which words are heard or read vs. personally used in conversation. This often leads to frustrating pauses in speech as one searches for the precise word to express what one is communicating.
This game takes the form of a crossword puzzle, with dictionary entries as clues. The emphasis is not on trying to stump the player, but on providing practice recalling words so it will become easier during natural conversation. A limited number of extra hints are available per game for those last few words that are difficult to get.
Definitions are provided by American Heritage® Dictionary, Wiktionary, The Century Dictionary, and the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English, supplied via Wordnik. When the word or a portion of the word is included in the definition, asterisks are substituted in place of the word.
Examples of words include propensity, perpetuate, propagate, designate, legacy, blemish, exacerbate, infiltrate, prolong, endorse, advocate, traipse, and reconvene. Over 4800 more just like these are used to dynamically create a nearly endless number of puzzles.
This game may be played offline. However, playing with an active network connection will provide a greater variety of words.

When I tried to reopen the app, it keeps saying "Unfortunately, Vocab Recall has stopped". Can you please fix it? It only does that when you hit the back button (not the home button) and it does that horizontally.

Well, it's amazing how many words I know but can't locate in the various little pigeon holes of my memory. This is a great help in relocating and arranging the various stuff in my brain that have been misplaced....not your average crossword. Great job Diana! (Pete of Kenmore)

I have been playing this game for 3 weeks and have fallen in love with it. It is amazing how many words sit at the tip of your tongue that you think you know but just can't remember it. The 3-letter hints are great and provide just enough of a hint to help you along. I have been playing on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, I just installed it on my Kindle Fire and was instantly amazed at how many words were now on the board, I think it must be a size factor of the game board. So very cool. Anyways, great job and thanks for building a fun solid app!

Love this. It's not easy - unlike other word games that start out with simple words. This one jumps right in with big, yet fairly common, words. If you want to challenge your mind and your vocabulary, this is the game! Nice and simple interface, easy game play, and highly challenging - and in that lies the entertainment!
