What is it?
TypeWords is a web-based English learning tool where you learn vocabulary and memorize articles by typing. Word practice offers follow-along, dictation, self-test, and spelling-from-memory modes, with a smart mode that schedules review based on memory curves. Each word comes with phonetics, American and British pronunciation, example sentences, phrases, synonyms, root words, and etymology.
For longer material, the article module includes built-in textbooks and lets you add or import your own articles, with one-click translation and bilingual comparison. Words typed incorrectly are collected into a wrong-word book, and mastered words are skipped in later sessions. Built-in vocabulary lists cover exams such as CET-4, CET-6, GRE, IELTS, SAT, and TOEFL.
The project is built with Nuxt and runs locally with Node.js and pnpm. Data is stored locally, so backups must be made manually when switching devices.
