Vocabulary worksheets built around your word list

Paste the words from this unit and get matching, definition, synonym and gap-fill practice using those exact words — not a generic set on the same topic. At CEFR A1 to C2, in English, Spanish, French or German.

Your list is the point

Nearly every vocabulary worksheet you can download is organised by topic: twenty words about food, fifteen about travel. Your list isn’t a topic. It’s the words that came up in the text you read, the ones three students asked about, and the eight from the coursebook unit you’re on — and no downloadable sheet contains that combination.

Give it the list and every exercise is built from it. That’s the whole difference, and it’s the reason generated vocabulary material beats found material more clearly than in any other category.

Four ways to practise the same words

ExerciseWhat students doTests
Word–definition matchingMatch each word to its definitionRecognition. The easiest, and the right first contact.
Word–synonym matchingMatch each word to a near-equivalentShades of meaning, and it expands the list while revising it.
Gap-fill sentencesChoose the right word for each sentenceWhether they can use it, not just recognise it.
Cloze in a passageFill gaps in continuous textUse in context, with collocation and grammar in play.

Running the same list through two of these across a week is more effective than one longer sheet. Recognition first, production later.

Getting a word list in

Type or paste it

A plain list, one word per line or comma-separated. The obvious route and the one most people use.

Photograph the page

Point your phone at the vocabulary box in the coursebook and it pulls the words out of the image.

Pull it from a text

Give it the passage and let it extract the vocabulary worth teaching at your level, then build from that.

Questions people ask

How many words per worksheet?

Eight to twelve for a matching exercise. Beyond about fifteen, matching becomes a process-of-elimination puzzle rather than a vocabulary task, and students solve the last four without knowing them.

Are the definitions pitched at the level?

Yes — an A2 definition uses A2 language. This matters more than it sounds, because a definition written above the learner’s level makes a matching exercise impossible for the reason you didn’t intend.

Can I get the words into a reading text too?

That’s the strongest use of the feature. Generate a reading passage with your list as target vocabulary, then build matching and cloze exercises on the same text. The words appear three times in three contexts.

Does it make flashcards?

No. Matching, definition, synonym and gap-fill exercises, laid out as worksheets. If you want flashcards, export the word–definition pairs as plain text and import them into whatever flashcard app your students already use.
