Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do English crossword puzzles improve vocabulary retention?

Crossword puzzles use active recall and orthographic mapping. Instead of passively recognizing a word in a multiple-choice list, your brain retrieves the exact English word from a definition clue and verifies its spelling letter by letter, strengthening long-term memory.

Which CEFR English level (A1, A2, B1, or B2) should I choose?

Choose A1 (Beginner) if you know 500–1,000 basic everyday words; A2 (Elementary) for daily life, travel, and routine conversations; B1 (Intermediate) for work, school, and descriptive topics; or B2 (Upper-Intermediate) for academic, business, and abstract vocabulary.
