> Expand your lexicon and sharpen your mind with WordWise, the premier word puzzle game for language lovers.

# How to Expand Your Vocabulary Fast
A robust vocabulary is correlated with higher intelligence and better communication skills. But reading the dictionary is dry. To truly learn words, you need to *manipulate* them.

## The Etymology Advantage
Understanding the roots of words (prefixes and suffixes) helps you decode new words you've never seen before.
* *Bene-* (Good) -> Benefit, Benevolent.
* *Mal-* (Bad) -> Malicious, Malfunction.

## The WordWise Method
**WordWise** turns etymology and spelling into a competitive game.
* **Anagram Challenges:** Find as many words as possible from a set of letters. This trains your brain to see patterns and sub-patterns.
* **Definition Discovery:** Learn the meaning of obscure words as you play.
* **Scrabble Strategy:** Improving at WordWise directly translates to better performance in board games like Scrabble and Boggle.

**Get wiser, one word at a time. Play WordWise.**
