The full forms hāliġes and hāliġne keep their dot.Sep 3
Old EnglishAbout 1,000 word forms now show the palatalization dot their dictionary headword already carried, so a word's popup no longer spells the same word two ways; alternate readings are now spelled the same way as the main entry; and gebeorgan ("to protect"), bæc ("back"), blæc ("black"), regnscur ("rain shower"), ciriclic ("church, ecclesiastical") and several more headwords show the correct dots.Sep 2

Old EnglishThe definition shown matches how the word is used in the sentence: hund reads as "hundred" after a number, as in syx hund ("six hundred"), and ān leads with the numeral "one".Aug 29
All languagesThe feedback button no longer covers an open sheet or dialog, so a tap near the bottom-right corner reaches the word popup, the signup reminder, or the menu you are using.Aug 28
Old EnglishVerb readings are more complete: past participles such as hāten (hātan, "to call") and oferdrifen (oferdrīfan, "to overcome") now appear among a word's readings, mood is shown consistently so helpaþ (helpan, "to help") reads as "present, indicative, plural" and wǣren (wesan, "to be") as subjunctive, hātte reads as passive ("is called"), and magan ("to be able") no longer carries a palatalization dot.Aug 28
Old EnglishWords with more than one dictionary sense now show every sense, so hund gives "hundred" as well as "dog"; māre (miċel, "great") reads as the comparative "more" instead of an unrelated noun, ongon reads as onginnan ("to begin"), and a word's definition list leads with its main sense.Aug 28
All languagesImporting a text is more reliable: long pastes no longer fail partway through, a failed import tells you nothing was saved so you can try again, and an import that was cut off no longer leaves an empty text in your library.Aug 27

All languagesWhen you finish the daily tasks, the Today card shows "Done for today" on the date row and the word of the day spans the full card.Aug 25
Old EnglishVerb forms now show their mood where the dictionary records it, so wite (witan, "to know") reads as "present, subjunctive, singular"; and words whose spelling covers two different dictionary entries, such as ece and æþryt, no longer show a long-vowel mark that belongs to only one of them.Aug 25
All languagesThe "Flashcards by text" list and its "All texts" page show only texts in your active study language.Aug 24
Old EnglishWord grammar readings are more consistent: verb forms that can be either first or third person, such as wæs (wesan, "to be"), now show a single "1st (or 3rd) singular" reading, the same way mihte (magan, "to be able") already did, instead of listing the two persons as separate readings; forms such as nime (niman, "to take") and wurde (weorþan, "to become") no longer name a person, since the Old English subjunctive singular is the same for all three; and a word no longer shows the same reading twice.Aug 24
Aug 17 – 23, 2026
All languagesReviewing a text's flashcards now works even when the text is not in your selected study language, and a word that a text spells in more than one way no longer appears twice in one session.Aug 23
Old EnglishVerb forms that are the same in more than one person, such as mihte (magan, "to be able"), hēt (hātan, "to command"), and arn (irnan, "to run"), now show both possible persons ("1st (or 3rd) singular") instead of picking one arbitrarily; and variant spellings of a word's dictionary form, such as ald ("old"), dyrne ("secret"), and cearleas ("careless"), now show the same grammar reading as the standard spelling instead of none at all.Aug 23
All languagesThe word of the day is now always a word you are not already learning, so "Add to flashcards" adds it, and its grammar line and dictionary entry match the word shown.Aug 23
Old EnglishWord grammar readings are more accurate: variant spellings such as ald ("old"), dyrne ("secret"), and abbud ("abbot") no longer show a grammar line that gives a spelling or dialect label instead of a grammatical form, and plural verbs such as begnornodon ("they mourned") and sint ("are") no longer claim a first or third person, which Old English plural endings do not mark.Aug 22
Old EnglishMore words now show their dictionary entry and grammar: hēdærn ("storehouse") and its spelling family, past-plural verb forms such as þiġeden (þicgan, "to receive") and bodadon (bodian, "to proclaim"), which also read as plurals, and verbs written with the prefix on-, such as onġeocaþ (ungeocian, "to unyoke").Aug 21
Old EnglishMore words in the reader now show the right dictionary entry. Compounds spelled with a variant of their first part, such as nēdþearf and worldrīce, now resolve. So do compounds written with a linking vowel, such as rōdetācne.

Old EnglishMany more words show the right entry: Northumbrian spellings written with œ, such as wœneþ (wēnan, "to think") and brœmo (brēme, "famous"); words whose dictionary entry lists two spellings at once, such as friad (frēogan, "to free") and fiod (fēogan, "to hate"); declined names, such as Westseaxena ("West Saxons"), Ælfrede (Alfred the Great), and mercna ("the Mercians"); and individual corrections — user shows ūre ("our"), iower is marked a pronoun, loca shows lōcian ("to look"), and Cwēnas shows the northern people of that name rather than "queen".Aug 8
