Thank you so much for this feature! It was an article on this very blog that introduced me to Word Power Made Easy and Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary - the two resources I learn most of my English-language vocabulary and usage from. I'm a huge fan of the Word of The Day feature on the M-W's Online Dictionary website, though several other online lexicons offer the feature currently. The Word Games on the website consolidate my understanding of meanings and usage of various words. I have always felt that learning new words for the HSEE (or otherwise) should be accompanied by understanding a word's etymological roots, various meanings, synonyms and antonyms, examples of the word's usage in the right connotation and trying to incorporate the word in practice essays. The Word of The Day feature on this blog is a great effort in this direction. Thanks for making my HSEE-2020 preparation clearer than it would otherwise be!
