A good definition shouldn't feel like something copied from a dictionary. It should help you recognize a word the moment you read it.
That's what we've improved in Exercises.
We've rewritten the definitions on exercise cards to sound more like the way people actually explain words. Instead of short, formal descriptions, you'll see natural explanations that make it easier to connect a meaning with the word you're looking for.
The biggest improvement is with small grammatical words. Traditional definitions often tell you what a word is without showing how it's used. Instead, the new definitions describe the role a word plays in everyday language. For example, instead of a technical definition for above, you'll simply read "Higher than something else and not touching it."
We've also brought back common words that were missing from Exercises. Everyday words like on and I now appear as cards too. They're easy to overlook, but they're some of the most useful words you'll learn.
You don't need to reset anything. Cards you've already seen will automatically use the updated definitions the next time they come around.
Open Exercises and play a round.
