How the list and the board work

This page holds a set of vocabulary words chosen to fit 6th grade readers. Each word gets four things: how to say it, its part of speech, a plain meaning, and a sentence showing it in use. Scroll the list to study it at your own pace.

When you're ready to practice, tap Play this list. It opens a board that only serves words from this page, not the full daily list. Guess a word one letter at a time. Green means the letter is right and in the right spot, yellow means it's in the word but in the wrong spot, and gray means it isn't in the word at all. Use those colors to narrow down your next guess, the same way every Tile Streak board works.

A few words from the list

These four are examples to show the format. They are not the words on today's board, and using them here does not spoil anything you'll see when you play.

Candid (KAN-did), adjective: honest and direct, without hiding your real opinion. "Her candid answer surprised the class, but everyone respected it."

Diligent (DIL-ih-junt), adjective: working hard and carefully over time. "A diligent student rewrites their notes the same night, not the night before the test."

Fragment (FRAG-ment), noun: a small piece broken off from something larger. "The archaeologist found a fragment of the ancient jar near the riverbank."

Reluctant (rih-LUCK-tunt), adjective: unwilling or hesitant to do something. "He was reluctant to raise his hand, even though he knew the answer."

Study tips for 6th grade readers

Learning a new word sticks better when you do more than read it once.

• Say it out loud. Reading the pronunciation and saying the word yourself helps you

remember how it sounds, not just how it looks.

• Write your own sentence. After reading the example, try writing one of your own using

the word. It forces you to think about what it actually means.

• Group words by feeling. Some words on a list like this describe a person's character,

like candid or diligent. Sorting words into small groups makes them easier to recall.

• Come back the next day. Reading a word once rarely makes it stick. A short review the

next day, and again a few days later, works better than one long study session.

• Play the board after you study. Studying the list first, then playing the board,

turns the words from something to memorize into something you actually use.

For teachers

This page works well as a quick warm-up. Pull up the list at the start of class, pick two or three words, and ask students to guess the meaning before you reveal it. The example sentences give you a ready-made way to check understanding without extra prep.

If you want a paper copy for a handout or a quiz sheet, printing this page from the browser gives you the words, pronunciations, parts of speech and meanings in one place. Since the list is still growing, treat it as a flexible resource rather than a fixed worksheet, and check back for new additions.

Because the board only serves words from this list, it also works as a shared class activity. Everyone plays from the same word bank, so the group can compare guesses and strategies afterward.
