Learn the Greek. Then actually keep it.

The problem isn’t learning. It’s forgetting.

A flashcard deck shows you every word at the same rate, forever — the ones you know cold and the ones you never quite caught, side by side. It’s slow where you need speed and fast where you need patience. So review becomes a chore, the chore gets skipped, and the vocabulary quietly slips away. If that arc sounds familiar, keeping your Greek is exactly the problem this whole project exists to solve.

One engine, doing the remembering for you

Underneath every Kanon Greek game is a single spaced-repetition engine. It tracks how well you know each individual word and schedules it to come back exactly when you’re about to forget it — stretching the gap a little further every time you get it right. Words you struggle with come around often; words you’ve mastered rest until you need a nudge.

A daily game for every kind of knowing

The same review never feels the same twice. Each mode tests a different kind of knowing — recognition, recall, reading in context, parsing, the shape of a form, and the roots that tie the language together. Every game keeps its own streak and climbs its own difficulty ladder, and every round ends in a short word study, so the puzzle you just played teaches the words it used.

• Léxisλέξις“word”Guess the day’s Greek word, a letter at a time.
• Staurólexonσταυρός + λέξις“cross + word”Cross the day’s Greek words in a mini crossword grid.
• Synápsisσύναψις“connection”Group sixteen Greek words into four sets of four.
• Anágnosisἀνάγνωσις“reading”Read a New Testament verse and fill the missing word.
• Diákrisisδιάκρισις“discernment”Parse a Greek form — its tense, voice, mood, case, and more.
• Mórphēμορφή“form”Sort sixteen forms into four groups by their grammar.
• Rhízaῥίζα“root”Build a word family from its shared root.

Membership adds the precision games — the same daily rhythm, aimed at producing exact forms — plus unlimited practice, the archive of every past day, and Hermēneía, a translation workbench for working through whole passages over time.

• Léxis+λέξις“word — sharpened”Spell the day’s Greek word in the exact inflected form its English clue names.
• Apódosisἀπόδοσις“rendering”Read the day’s Greek verb form and render it in precise English.

And when you want to go deeper

Beside the dailies sit the Sharpen modes — untimed practice for the skills a preacher or a student actually drills: parsing and paradigms, frequency-ordered vocabulary, and translating whole verses of Scripture.

• Drill VocabRapid recall, by frequency
• Nail ParadigmsDecline a word through its forms
• Translate VersesRender Scripture in English
• Study a PassageHermēneía — translate & diagram over time
• Spot the ConjugationName a verb table’s tense & mood
• Name the DeclensionPlace a noun table’s declension & gender

Made to be kept up

Whether you’re a seminary student trying to hold onto a semester of Greek, a pastor who wants to read the text behind the sermon, or a homeschool family learning together — Kanon Greek is a few quiet minutes a day that compound. The streak is the point: small, daily, lasting. And it’s a personal project, not a company — here’s the seminarian behind it.
