Word of the Day MX Lite

Word of the Day MX Lite is an application whose goal is to help you assimilate new words and enhance your English vocabulary.

It features 31 college-level terms and definitions, as well as a popup quiz to test your knowledge and test your skills.

This is a Metro application that can be obtained from the Windows Store, thanks to the fact that its signed by Microsoft.

It's compatible with machines running Windows 10, 8.1 and 8, including those with touch support, thanks to the fact that it has large buttons which can be easily tapped.

Because it adopts a dark theme and doesn't put a strain on your eyes, Word of the Day MX Lite is ideally used at night time. However, there is no light theme available.

Two buttons are displayed at startup, one for learning new words and another for taking a quiz. During the learning course, the vocabulary app shows a collegiate word along with its meaning on the bottom part of the screen. You can proceed to a new word and definition by clicking the "Next..." button.

As far as the quiz is concerned, Word of the Day MX Lite shows a word along with four possible meanings, where you have to check the box of the one you think is correct, then click "Next Question".

Worth noting is that it tells you whether or not the answer is correct before proceeding to the following question, so you can easily find the right one to refresh your memory. It's also possible to go to the next question if you got a wrong answer, as well as to skip to it if you don't want to provide any answer.

Besides the fact that you can take a snapshot of the visible text and share the picture with an external Modern UI app, there's nothing else offered by the developer.

Unfortunately, Word of the Day MX Lite has a small database of words and definitions. Also, it doesn't show examples of trivia facts. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself.
