Why a custom vocabulary quiz beats a printable one

Ready-made printables are easy to find, but they rarely include the exact words on your list. DeckOwl builds a vocabulary quiz from your own material, so every question tests what your class or course actually covers.

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions from any word list
Explanations for every answer so you see why a meaning fits
Spaced repetition flashcards built from the same vocabulary
Free plan to start with no credit card

Example vocabulary quiz questions

What does ubiquitous mean?Found everywhere at the same time. Smartphones are ubiquitous because almost everyone carries one.

Which word means lasting only a short time?Ephemeral. It comes from a Greek word meaning lasting only a day, so it fits things like fashions or morning frost.

True or false: gregarious means shy.False. Gregarious means sociable and fond of company, so its opposite is reticent or reserved.

What does laconic mean?Using very few words. The term comes from Laconia, the ancient Spartan region, whose people were known for brief speech.

What does pragmatic mean?Dealing with things sensibly and realistically rather than by theory. It comes from the Greek pragma, meaning deed or action.

Generate the full set

Questions from your own words

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a word list. The quiz covers the words in your material, not a generic set.

Three question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Each question includes an explanation so you learn why the right meaning fits.

Flashcards and mind maps too

Turn the same list into spaced repetition flashcards or a mind map of related word families when you want a different way to review.

How it works

Add your word list

Upload a file or paste your notes. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.

Pick a question type

Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Quiz yourself and review

Answer in the browser, read each explanation, and repeat the questions you missed until the meanings stick.

Quizzing yourself on word meanings works better than rereading a list. Each wrong answer shows you which definitions are blurring together, and the explanations explain how a word differs from its near neighbors.

Free accounts can generate three times a month and study in the browser. Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How many words should I put in one vocabulary quiz?

Keep each quiz to a set you can review in one sitting. Once you answer most of those correctly, add new words so older ones stay in rotation.

What is the best way to memorize vocabulary words for a test?

Quiz yourself from memory instead of rereading the list, and write one example sentence per word. Revisit missed words after a day or two so they stick.

Can I export my vocabulary quiz to Word or Moodle?

Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX are on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are on Pro at $14.99/month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser, and you can upgrade later if you need more.
