About TrainWords

TrainWords helps people build a more precise English vocabulary for work, interviews and everyday conversation. You add a word you want to learn, then practice by writing short original sentences with it. Each accepted sentence adds one point, and once a word reaches 10 points it counts as learned. A demo on the site lets you try writing with words like eloquent without an account.

The dashboard shows an activity map over the last 60 weeks, current and longest streaks, daily repetitions, total repetitions, words mastered and study time. The practice timer runs only while you type, so recorded study time reflects active writing rather than an open tab. Per-word progress shows which words are close to 10 and which need more work.

The product is a hosted web app with selectable color themes. You can start free with 5 words and no card, and a pricing page and FAQ explain paid plans. It is aimed at learners who want to sound clearer, more concise and more persuasive.
