If you have just downloaded the app or updated the app to a version that supports the user log-in feature, you most likely have not created an account yet. Your Merriam-Webster account is not linked to your app subscription, purchase, or Word of the Day email subscription -- for more information on this, please see this help article


To register a new account: go to the "Log in/Account" tab in the app's menu and tap the Register button. You will need to provide a valid email address, a username (that cannot be an email address), and a password. You will be sent a confirmation email containing a link that you must follow in order to activate your account. If you aren't receiving the confirmation email, please go here.


To log into an existing account: go to the "Log in/Account" tab in the app's menu and tap the Log In button. Enter your email address or username and your password. Keep in mind that you will need to type your email address in all lowercase letters.
