Why teachers and students want Quizizz-style vocabulary practice

Vocabulary lists in a textbook or a teacher's slides rarely come in a format you can drill on. Quizizz-style vocabulary quizzes turn those lists into questions you can answer on your own, which is how most words actually get learned.

Questions come from your own word lists, so nothing generic gets mixed in.
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats test recognition and recall.
Explanations show the root, context or synonym behind each correct answer.
Students can get 40% off Plus with a school email.

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should I study in one session?

Most learners do well with 10 to 20 new words per session, then review the ones they missed the next day. Smaller sets make explanations easier to remember.

What is the most effective way to study vocabulary?

Test yourself instead of rereading lists, and say the meaning in your own words before checking. Using words in sentences and revisiting them over several days makes them stick better.

Can I export my vocabulary quizzes?

Exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to start.
