About

Who writes WordWizly

We guesscheck grammar rules so you do not have to.

WordWizly started with a simple annoyance. Grammar advice online is either buried in dense textbook language or reduced to a meme about the Oxford comma. We wanted a place where you could look up a rule, understand it in under a minute and get back to writing. Every lesson on this site goes through the same red pen before it reaches you.

How we edit every lesson

  1. Research first

    We check every rule against established style guides and real usage before we write a single sentence about it.

  2. Draft in plain English

    We write examples you will actually recognize from your own emails, essays and messages, not invented textbook sentences.

  3. Revise and fact check

    A second editor reviews every rule, every example and every link before the lesson goes live on WordWizly.
