What is Word of The Hour?

Word of The Hour is a browser extension and mobile app available for Chrome, Firefox, iOS, and Android that introduces users to a new interesting word every hour along with rich contextual information to help remember the word.

Each hour, a new word pops up with its pronunciation (phonetic spelling), part of speech labeling, concise and simplified definition, example sentence demonstrating usage, synonyms, and an image related to the word. Users can click to get more in-depth details on etymology and additional examples.

By showing a different word every hour, Word of The Hour helps users effortlessly learn new words and build vocabulary without feeling overwhelmed. Seeing the word in example sentences helps gain an understanding of how to actually use the word in conversation. Synonyms and related words build connections between new vocabulary and words users are more likely to already know.

The browser extensions require no clicking or setup, as new words automatically appear in a small pop-up. Mobile apps also update automatically or can be opened to reveal the current word. All words are saved to a history in case users want to review past words.

Word of The Hour is great for anyone who wants to expand and strengthen their vocabulary with convenience since new words come to you automatically throughout your day. The variety of contextual learning features reinforces retention of words to truly own and be able to use the words you learn.
