Invitation only

Babies see red first, but every child has their favourite — which is yours?

transport · export · portable · report · import

What if your child could guess the meaning of words they've never seen?

Lex The Saurus™ unlocks the hidden system of English — through playful stories, unforgettable characters, and one beautifully simple idea: learn the root, unlock the language.

The hidden pattern

One root.
A world of words.

Over 60% of English comes from Latin and Greek roots. When children learn that “port” means to carry, suddenly transport, export, portable, report and dozens more aren't mysteries — they're puzzles waiting to be solved.

This isn't memorisation. It's pattern recognition — the same skill that powers how children naturally learn language, and it works from as young as 12 months.

Every character teaches
a piece of the puzzle

Each character in the Lex universe embodies a morpheme — and carries its meaning into every adventure. Together, they show children that words aren't random. They're a system.

12+ characters. 12+ morphemes. Hundreds of words unlocked.

Not a hunch. A science.

Your child's brain is already
wired for this

Children don't learn language word by word — they learn it pattern by pattern. Decades of cognitive science confirm: the children who see the system inside words read faster, understand more, and forget less.

That's not a fun fact — it's the unlock. Most words your child will ever encounter are built from a small set of reusable parts.
1 → 12+
One root, twelve words
Learn “port” and you don't get one word. You get transport, export, portable, import, passport, and more. That's not memorisation — that's leverage.

Morphological awareness — understanding word parts — is one of the strongest predictors of reading success, vocabulary growth, and comprehension.

— Rastle, 2019 · Annual Review of Linguistics

Children as young as 3 already use morphological cues to guess word meanings. By age 5, they actively seek patterns. Lex The Saurus™ meets them exactly there.

3x
Faster vocabulary growth
Pattern-based learners acquire vocabulary at 3x the rate of rote memorisers. Every root is a multiplier, not a single answer.

Help shape what Lex becomes

We asked. Parents answered. The message was loud and clear.

For Parents

“Mass produced, everything feels the same.” “Quantity over quality.” “Most books don't teach you anything.” Sound familiar? You're not alone — help us build something better.

About us

A small team. A big question.

🇨🇭 We are a Swiss team of linguists, researchers, neuroscientists, educators and creatives united by one question:

“How can we help children to see beyond words to find patterns?”

The irony? We build large language models around pattern recognition. Yet we rarely teach children to recognise patterns in language during the very years when their brains are most receptive to them.

Mind-blowing.

(Yes, we love a good dad joke too.)

We are creating Lex The Saurus™ from years of peer-reviewed research in morphology, linguistics and learning science, combined with practical testing alongside families. Our goal is simple: let children have fun while quietly developing one of the most transferable cognitive skills there is: pattern recognition.

We call it funducation.

Lex The Saurus™ teaches patterns through words, and words through patterns.

We are building learning tools The Other Way.
