Choose Word Meaning
Learn how you learn specific words meanings in Wöör
In Wöör, every word you collect is tied to a specific meaning — not just the word itself. This helps you focus on the exact way a word is used in context, which is especially important when a word has multiple meanings like “ring”, “charge”, or “case”.
Why word meanings matter
Many English words have several meanings. For example:
- “charge” can mean a price, an accusation, or to power a device
- “case” can mean a legal matter, a container, or an example
In Wöör, you choose the meaning you want to learn — so your exercises, reviews, and examples match what you’re actually trying to remember.
Choose meaning to learn
You can choose a word's meaning when adding it or update the meaning for words already in your vocabulary.

Why this matters
Focusing on a word’s meaning — not just the word — helps you:
- Avoid confusion with similar or multi-use words
- Learn the exact usage relevant to your work, exam, or topic
- Build accurate, meaningful vocabulary knowledge
- Get exercises that match your learning goal
This is especially useful for learners building professional vocabulary, like legal, medical, or technical terms, where precision matters.
How Wöör’s approach is different
- Wöör: You select the exact meaning when saving the word — no guessing later. Exercises are built around that meaning.
- Anki & Quizlet: You enter the meaning manually. The app doesn’t check or guide you.
- Vocabulary: Shows general meanings but doesn’t let you choose or focus on one.
- WordUp: Focuses on word meanings in context, with real-life videos and examples; meaning selection is automatic, not user-controlled.
