A lot of words but few "puzzles" and/or "games"

The only reason for the lower rating is for the lack of varied games and puzzles. There are only the four same one's: match the 3 words 1,2,3 with a,b,or c, definitions; 3 words, and you answer if this is the correct meaning, signifing by answering yes or no; 3 words that you fill in the blanks; and the last, is 3 words that are given a meaning to and you answer is the meanid listed the same(s) or oppisite(o). But i will said it is a lot of words and very easy to understand definitions, along with a sentence, and it gives you whether it's a noun verb, adverb ect. and offers for instance the noun and the adj word as well. It also gives you different context one might use this word.
