Why a custom vocabulary quiz works better

Many teachers want a fast vocabulary quiz with a game-show feel, but the words should match what the class is reading this week. A quiz built from your own texts checks the terms students will meet in the next assignment, not a generic list.

Works from word lists, PDFs, DOCX files, slides and photographed pages
Mixes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one quiz
Explains each correct answer so missed words become teaching moments
Exports to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 on Pro

Example vocabulary quiz questions with answers

What does "ubiquitous" mean?Found everywhere. It comes from the Latin ubique, meaning "everywhere."

What does "ephemeral" mean?Lasting for a very short time. It comes from the Greek ephemeros, meaning "lasting one day."

What does "benevolent" mean?Kind and well-meaning. It combines the Latin bene (well) with volens (wishing).

What does "candid" mean when describing a comment?Honest and direct. It comes from the Latin candidus, meaning "white" or "open," which later came to mean frank.

What does "gregarious" mean?Enjoying the company of others. It comes from the Latin gregarius, meaning "of a flock."

Generate the full set

Built from your words

Paste a list, upload a PDF or photograph a page of vocabulary, and the quiz is written from the terms your class actually studies.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so students learn why a word fits a definition instead of just memorizing a letter.

Ready for your class

Study in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 for handouts or your learning system.

How it works

Add your word list

Upload a document, slides or notes, or type in the terms you want covered.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, or mix them in one quiz.

Quiz and review

Answer the questions in the browser, read the explanations and revisit the words you missed.

Good vocabulary practice asks students to use a word in context, not just recall a definition. Multiple-choice questions with plausible distractors and explanations show the difference between close synonyms, which is where most mistakes happen.

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should one quiz cover?

Ten to twenty words per quiz is a practical range for most classes. Shorter quizzes are easier to review in one sitting and make it clearer which words need more practice.

What is the best way to study vocabulary for a test?

Quiz yourself on each word in a sentence rather than as an isolated definition. Then come back to the words you missed after a day or two, which helps them stick.

Can I export a vocabulary quiz to Moodle?

Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan. PDF and DOCX exports are included in Plus.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
