About Word Lab

Vocabulary work that goes past definitions: pick the synonym, flip to the antonym, choose the word that fits the sentence.

Ankhdase tracks 2 distinct skills in Word Lab, including Vocabulary and Synonyms & antonyms. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.

How to play

  1. Read the word or sentence and pick the best match.
  2. Watch the instruction — sometimes it wants the opposite, not the synonym.
  3. Tap 🔊 to hear a word read aloud.

Skills Word Lab practices

  • Vocabulary
  • Synonyms & antonyms

Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.

Questions about Word Lab

Is Word Lab free to play?
Yes. Word Lab is free, runs in any modern browser, and needs no download or plugin. You can play straight away without an account; signing in is only needed if you want progress, streaks and badges saved.
What age is Word Lab for?
Word Lab suits ages 8–13 — roughly Grade 3 to Grade 7+. The difficulty adapts as you play, so it stays useful across that whole range rather than being pitched at one year group.
What does Word Lab teach?
It practices Vocabulary and Synonyms & antonyms. Every question is tagged with the skill it exercises, so progress is tracked skill by skill rather than as one overall score.
Does Word Lab work on a tablet or phone?
Yes. Word Lab works with touch as well as a mouse, and every drag action has a tap-to-select alternative. Once the page has loaded once it also keeps working offline.
Can teachers assign Word Lab?
Yes. Teachers can create a class, add students in bulk without email addresses, and set Word Lab as an assignment with a goal — a score, a number of minutes, stars or a typing speed. Progress updates automatically as students play.
