Four pounds doesn’t seem too bad for more tests either, depending on how much feedback you get on why an answer is wrong.

Ben Zimmer here, executive producer of the Visual Thesaurus. Just to clarify, VocabGrabber is being offered as a free resource from the Visual Thesaurus. Many additional benefits come with a subscription to the Visual Thesaurus, but VocabGrabber can be used without a subscription. Let us know what you think!

Thanks to the publishers for the PR release on this. Will hopefully be able to give more info on it soon, such as whether it is worth the money or not, if they agree to send out a review copy
