Definitions that fit the book
Some definitions are harder than the word they define. Wordhoard can rewrite one in plain language, in the sense the book is using. Ten rewrites are free; after that they are part of the subscription.

↓Search it the way you would in any dictionary. That is the whole of your part.
The word is kept and filed under the book you were reading when you found it.
Wordhoard schedules the word to return before you forget it, and quizzes you when it does.
A name, a piece of jargon, a word no dictionary has, or a meaning you would explain differently. Type it and it becomes a card like any other.

Name a book from Project Gutenberg's 79,000 free classics and Wordhoard reads the actual text, skipping character names and ordinary literary English, to find the words worth learning — with the sentence each one appears in. It learns which words you already know as you use it.

Kindle, Kobo and PocketBook have quietly recorded the words you looked up — sometimes for years. Plug the reader into a computer, copy one file across to your phone, and it all arrives as cards, filed under the books they came from. Kindle keeps the sentence too, which is the part that makes the card worth having.
On a Mac, the free E-reader Helper finds the file for you — including on the newer Kindles a Mac cannot otherwise see.

How common a word is, so you can tell what is worth the effort.
Choose how hard a review should be rather than take the same test every time.
The dictionary works in twelve of them.
Look a word up and send it. It appears on their phone as a card to learn, filed under your name, with the sentence you give them.
A parent and a child is the obvious case. It reads the same for a teacher, a tutor, or a partner learning your language.
And when the dictionary's wording won't help them — too technical, too abstract, not how they'd say it — write the meaning yourself and send that instead.
That's the part a dictionary can't do, because explaining a word well depends on knowing the person.
