New: Word Packs, Ready-Made Vocabulary Lists You Can Add in One Go

Mem-App works best with words you meet in real life: you look a word up, it becomes a flashcard, and the app brings it back just before you'd forget it. But sometimes you know what you need to learn before you've met the words. An IELTS exam is coming up. You start a new job and meetings are full of phrasal verbs. You keep saying "very" and want better options.

That's what word packs are for.

What's new

Word packs are short, focused vocabulary lists, usually 15 to 20 words each, grouped into six areas:

Everyday life: personality words, feelings beyond happy and sad
Work and career: meeting vocabulary, job interview words, phrasal verbs for work
Language patterns: everyday phrasal verbs, commonly confused words, British vs American English, and Spanish false friends and connectors
Better word choice: words to use instead of "very" and "said", ways to say "look" and "walk", formal verbs and C2 vocabulary
Word levels: every ladder from our Words for different levels of… series, from mild to strong
Exams: collections for IELTS Academic, TOEFL, Cambridge B2 First and C1 Advanced and, for Spanish learners, DELE and SIELE B2, each split into small topic and task packs

Packs run from A2 to C2, so you can filter by language, level and category to find the right one.

Each pack page shows every word with a short hint. All words are ticked by default. Untick the ones you already know, then press Add.

How it helps

No typing word by word. Mem-App opens with your chosen words lined up in the words bar. Each one shows its full definitions, examples and pronunciation, and adding a word moves you straight on to the next.
You stay in control. You choose which meaning to add for each word, just like a normal lookup, so your flashcards match how you want to use the word.
Small packs, steady progress. Packs are kept short on purpose. Add one, review those words for a few days, then come back for the next.

How to try it

Go to Word packs (also under Resources).
Choose English or Español, then filter by level and category, or start with the Start here row.
Open a pack, untick any words you already know, and press Add.
If you're not signed in yet, Mem-App asks you to sign in or continue as a guest, then brings you straight back to your words.

Reading one of our "levels of" posts? Each one now has an Add these words to my list button right under its ladder table.

A couple of things to know:

Free accounts hold up to 50 words in total. A pack fits comfortably, but a whole collection needs a premium account.
Spanish packs: before adding them, set your list's From language to Spanish on the Lists page in Mem-App, so the words are looked up in the Spanish dictionary.

We'll keep adding packs. If there's a topic you'd like to see, let us know.
