How it works
-
1
Read the root
Each chapter decodes one root — its origin, sound, and core meaning.
-
2
Recall it.
You type answers — active retrieval that makes words stick, not passive recognition.
-
3
Own it forever
Once a root clicks, every word built from it is readable on sight. You decoded the code.
