What are the various achievements I can earn?
In addition to level badges, there are achievements for the number of words mastered, streaks, and other goals like scoring a perfect round. You can see a full list of the achievements here.
If you are a student in the US and Canada, you can play for your school and help your school win school achievement badges. Every word you master while playing for your school earns your school one point. We award monthly badges to schools at the state and national level. And, at the end of the year, the high school and middle school with the most points wins our Vocabulary Bowl.
