Dear vocab enthusiasts,

In 2009, I launched VocabSushi.com to help people learn vocabularly. Originally it was an idea about extracting sentences from real-world news articles to generate bite-size sentence completion questions. It evolved into a robust adaptive platform that delivered value for everyone from SAT students to English language learners around the world to school teachers eager for a product that helped their students stay engaged.

Over these last 9 years, I've learned a ton and met a lot of great people along the way. I worked through several major overhauls of VocabSushi and created a classroom product that teachers and students loved. There was even an iOS app.

Unfortunately, over the last few years, VocabSushi turned into more of a side project. The cost of maintaining the service, which was free for users, was not offset by the revenue generated from Google Ads. I personally could not dedicate any meaningful time to the project to improve it and it was clear it had collected dust over the years of neglect.

I reached out to a few ed-tech companies that I was familiar with to see if anyone was interested in acquiring VocabSushi so it could live on. That path did not work out.

VocabSushi is officially shut down.
