WoRD is a speed-reading trainer for iPhone. It shows you one word at a time (the RSVP method) so your eyes stop wandering and your speed climbs. It comes with 720 stories in 4 languages, a personal reading plan, progress stats, and a new arcade that turns reading into a game.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Alan, a solo iOS dev. I built WoRD because I read slowly and every "speed reading" app felt like a chore. So I made one that shows you one word at a time (the RSVP method: no eye movement, no re-reading) and wrapped it in the stuff that actually keeps me practicing: a daily plan, streaks, 720 short stories in 4 languages, and stats that show my speed climbing. v1.7 adds an Arcade: Word Hunt (catch the golden words) and Odd One Out (expel the intruder), so training doesn't feel like homework. Want to see where you stand first? There's a free 60-second reading speed test on the site, no signup: alangloria.com/word/wpm-test. Drop your WPM in the comments, I'm curious how PH reads. Happy to answer anything about RSVP, the arcade, or shipping this solo. Thanks for checking it out!

tried it for a few minutes and honestly the arcade mode is weirdly motivating, like i actually wanted to keep reading to beat my score. the one-word-at-a-time thing felt awkward at first but you kind of get used to it

@satanuurscfq Awesome to ear that!!

Tried the arcade mode out of curiosity and it actually makes speed drills feel less like homework. The 720 stories across four languages is a nice bonus too, plenty of material to practice with without it feeling stale.

@serpilqhbc awesome great to eat that and that’s the goal!!
