I Don't Know What To Say
Guess the word given the definition.
Improve your conversational skills.
Invoke words quickly when you need them and become more talkative.
Instructions: This tool is NOT for learning words you don't know. This tool is for practicing faster recall of common words and is designed to put you in "the word is in the tip of my tongue" situations. It is easy and automatic to recall the meaning of familiar words when we see them written down, but unless we talk and write a lot it can be a slower process to give words to new meanings and ideas we are trying to convey in a conversation.
For example:
In case that = "if" this happens then that happens
Granting = "if" you finish your vegetables you can have cake
Allowing = "if" you pay you can enter
Supposing that = "if" it's true we are in trouble
So what is the word for this meanings? "In case that, granting, allowing, or supposing that" The word is "If"
Recognizing a word is very easy, doing the oposite is something we rarely do except when we have novel conversations, then we need to quickly find a word for a meaning. This means going the opposite direction a dictionary goes.
Finding the word "if" only from it's meanings can be a very unintuitive and difficult thing, but if you keep practicing this type of exercise you can become very good with words! Do you have a meaning? Do you have something to say? You can find the words! You can become very expressive! Keep practicing and you'll get a silver tongue that is quick with language.
If you get a word wrong it will reappear until you get it right 3 times in a row, that way you can practice small chunks of the dictionary instead of all of it at once.

I need to echo what Neurisko said. The definitions are really not up to par.
The definitions are somewhat antiquated, which makes the examples a bit cumbersome to interpret. I'm guessing you're using an old public domain dictionary as your source.
