Why build your own vocabulary trivia instead of printing one

Ready-made quizzes cover generic word lists, so they often skip the terms your course actually uses. A set of vocabulary trivia with answers built from your own chapter, slides or notes tests what you need to know, and the explanation after each answer shows why the right choice is right.

Multiple-choice questions with the correct answer marked and explained
True/false statements about word meanings taken from your own files
Short answer prompts for terms you need to write out from memory
Spaced repetition that brings missed words back at the right time

Example vocabulary trivia with answers

Which word means lacking energy: diligent, lethargic or candid?Lethargic. Lethargic means sluggish and low on energy, the opposite of diligent.

True or false: ubiquitous means rare or hard to find.False. Ubiquitous means found everywhere, so it is the opposite of rare.

What does benevolent mean?Kind and well-meaning. Benevolent describes someone who wants to help others.

Which word means a short saying that expresses a general truth: aphorism, anecdote or allegory?Aphorism. An aphorism is a brief, pointed statement of a general truth.

Define candid in one phrase.Honest and direct. Candid speech shows openness rather than hiding what you think.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Questions come from the terms and definitions in your own files, not a generic word list.

Answers and explanations

Every multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question includes the correct answer and why it is right.

Export when you need it

Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for class platforms.

How it works

Upload

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of your page.

Choose the format

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions.

Quiz yourself

Study in the browser, then review missed words with spaced repetition.

Start with the file you already have. Upload it, choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and review the generated questions before you study. Removing the few that miss the point takes far less time than writing a full set by hand.

If you need a printable copy for a class or a tutor, export on a paid plan. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning platforms.

Frequently asked questions

How many words should a vocabulary trivia round cover?

Most useful rounds focus on the terms from one chapter or reading. Add more words once you can define the current set without looking.

What makes a good vocabulary trivia question?

Good questions test meaning in context, such as which word fits a sentence, rather than only matching a word to a definition. A short explanation after each answer means a wrong guess still teaches something.

Can I export the questions to a printable worksheet?

PDF and DOCX export is included on the Plus plan, which costs $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. Students with a school email get 40% off.

Is there a free way to try it first?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports are not included on the free plan.
