TailVerbs: Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs are where English stops being logical: look up, take off, put up with. Learning them from a list is close to impossible, so TailVerbs gives them to you in three puzzles where you build each verb with your own hands — and in a pet that grows up while you learn them.

Please note: the app's interface and the translations are in Ukrainian. Every verb also comes with an English synonym and an example sentence in English.

THE PET

• A kitten or a hunting-dog puppy lives in its own room and grows from a baby into an adult while you learn phrasal verbs.
• Food, water, play and the toilet — each need opens its own game with phrasal verbs.
• Grooming — bathing, brushing, claws and ears. A grown-up pet goes to shows: judges, a ring and medals.
• Tails earned in the puzzles are spent in the shop: things for the room, treats and services.
• One pet can be taken in for free; the others are separate purchases.
• Reminders about the pet can be switched off in the settings.

THREE PUZZLES

• Mahjong — remove "verb + particle" pairs from a figure of tiles. A particle doesn't fit just any verb: a pair disappears only if that phrasal verb really exists.
• Chain — a pyramid solitaire: build a run where each next card goes with the one before.
• Bubbles — shoot particles at verbs creeping down. Hit the right one and both bubbles pop.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 680 English phrasal verbs, chosen by how often they are used — from the ones you need most to the rarer ones.
• 1,819 meanings: each verb shows its main one, and the rest are in the verb list behind the "•••" button.
• A Ukrainian translation, an English synonym and an example sentence for every verb.
• Quests right in the game: play a verb with a given meaning, build a run, hit the verb from the example. Finished quests earn helpers.
• A history of your games and a log of the verbs you have collected, so you can see what you already know.
• A light "jelly" theme and a dark one — glowing figures on a starry sky.
• Field size of your choice: from a small one for a few minutes to a large one you can move and zoom.

ABOUT ADS

Rewarded ads only play when you ask for them: for an extra hint, an undo or the pocket, and for the pet — for tails or an extra life in a game. Nothing ever covers the field.

A short ad is sometimes shown between games. A one-time "Remove ads" purchase takes it away for good — rewarded ads stay, because you start those yourself.

NO INTERNET, NO SIGN-UP

The game works offline. There is nothing to register, and the game itself collects nothing about you: your progress stays on the device. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which uses the device's advertising ID; what it uses and why is set out in the privacy policy.
