Daily words from The Hindu

Vocabulary

The reference list behind the daily vocabulary — editorial English, the words that actually turn up in the English section. Every entry has its Hindi meaning, a plain definition, five synonyms, five antonyms and a sentence it works in. Free to read, no account, nothing to download.

  • 1,787 words
  • 25 letters with entries
  • 722 adjectives
  • 560 nouns
  • 497 verbs

25 letters carry entries — there are no words beginning with X. P is the largest at 166.

How to actually use this

Reading a word list is the easy half and the half that does not stick. These are the habits that turn a list into marks — worth more than adding another hundred words.

In the paper

  • In a double filler, solve the second blank first. It usually carries the tighter grammatical constraint, and settling it removes options from the first blank for free.
  • Read the word immediately after the blank before you choose. A verb or adjective that demands a fixed preposition — abstain from, conducive to, culminate in — rules out most of the options without needing their meanings at all.
  • Decide whether the sentence is positive, negative or neutral before you pick between two close synonyms. Two words can share a dictionary definition and disagree completely on tone, and the tone is what the question is testing.
  • A direct vocabulary question is recall, not reasoning. If the word is not there in a few seconds, eliminate what you can and move — the time is worth more in the sections that reward working.

When you revise

  • Cover the synonyms and antonyms with your hand and recall three of each before you look. Reading a list feels like studying; being unable to produce it is what tells you the truth.
  • Write one sentence of your own with the word, about something real — your prep, the news, your day. A sentence you invented is recallable in a way a sentence you read is not.
  • Come back to the same words the next day, then three days later, then a week later. Spacing the same words out beats reading new ones, which is the harder discipline of the two.

Where the words come back

  • After a mock, look up all four options in every vocabulary question you got wrong — not just the correct one. The three distractors were chosen because they are plausible, which makes them the more useful three.
  • When you read the editorial, mark the words you recognise from here. Seeing a word doing a job in a real sentence is what moves it from "revised" to "known".

About the usage notes. 149 of the 1,787 entries carry an extra note — a Latin root, a prefix, a fixed preposition, or a look-alike word worth separating. They run A to E, because that is as far as the source material's notes went before repeating itself. Rather than pad the rest with filler, the other entries simply do not have one.

Where today’s words actually are

Every link above opens a real Telegram channel. Nothing on this page is behind a sign-up, and nothing here is a placeholder that goes nowhere.

What is still coming

  • Filter by date and exam

    Revision the week before a prelims is a different job from daily reading, and the archive should support both.

  • Revision and recall

    The words already covered stay visible, so a list you read once in August is still reachable in November.

  • Downloadable sets

    Monthly and topic-wise word lists as PDFs, for people who revise on paper.

Straight answers

Is the vocabulary free?

Yes, and it stays free. Reading the words needs no account, no payment and no sign-up — it is posted openly in the channel.

Where do the words come from?

The Hindu’s editorials and articles. Each word is posted with its meaning, how it is used, and the sentence it was taken from, so you see it in context rather than in isolation.

Do I need to install anything?

No. A Telegram account is enough — everything is delivered in the channel, and it also works from a browser without installing the app.

Is every word you have ever posted on this page?

Not yet, and the difference matters. What is on this page is the reference word bank the daily posts are drawn from — 1,787 words, browsable by letter and searchable. A dated archive of the daily posts themselves is a separate thing that needs the Telegram import, which is not built. Until it is, the channel remains the complete record of what went out and when.
