I love this site, and I think you will too. Here's what the site owners have to say:
Edited extract from vocabulary.com: Vocabulary.com is the easiest, most intelligent way to improve your vocabulary. It combines an adaptive learning system with the world's fastest dictionary so that you can more quickly and more efficiently learn words.
Why Vocabulary.com? We teach you useful words. We don't waste your time. We start by looking at books, periodicals, and other material and, from this, we pull out the most essential English vocabulary words, the words that you need to succeed in an academic or business environment. This list serves as the basis for our learning platform. We teach you only the words that you have trouble with.
Our system is adaptive, like having a personal trainer in the room, monitoring your work and suggesting new words and exercises to challenge you on your level. Because of this, you don't waste your time learning words that are too easy or too hard.
We don't let you forget. Finally, we analyze your achievements, and reinforce your skills by reintroducing words at various times to make sure that you are retaining the words you originally learned.
