Currently, the only way to level up this skill is to play the '''Word Hunt''' mini-game. You can do so by clicking on the Word Hunt icon on the button bar on the right-hand side of the screen. Note that it currently has no associated icon. The item that enables the minigame can occasionally drop inside the [[Tutorial Cave]], or can be bought from [[Marna]] in [[Serbule Keep]]. Vocabulary does not currently have a use in-game, but it makes for a fun distraction while waiting for other things to happen, and is said to be used with Bardic skills later, when they are added.
+
'''Vocabulary''' has no current purpose, but the upcoming [[Bard]] skill will require some level of it.

*'''Bug:''' The UI icon for the word hunt game has no icon, only a nondescript gray icon.

=== In-Game Description ===
−
The goal of the game is to find as many words as you can within a larger word. Words appear to be between 7 to 10 letters in length. Each word that you find awards a number of points based on its length. Your final score is the total point value of all words. You receive XP equal to your final score.

For example, given the word '''CENTRIFUGE''', the game lists 183 possible words (which is a lot, as most words only have around 100 or so.) You could find the words "erecting" (1000 points) + "generic" (500 points) + "center" (100 points) + "entice" (100 points) and "fig" (1 point) for a total of 1,701 points and experience!
