Octopuses Have Three Hearts
An octopus has not one but three hearts! Two pump blood to the gills to pick up oxygen, and the third pumps it to the rest of the body. Even stranger, their blood is blue, not red, because it uses copper instead of iron to carry oxygen. When an octopus swims, its main heart actually stops beating — which may be why they often prefer to crawl. English tip: the standard plural is 'octopuses'; 'octopi' is common but based on a false Latin form. Example: 'We saw two octopuses at the aquarium.'

What does it cost?

How does the streak work?
A day counts when you finish its lesson. Consecutive days make a streak; miss one and the streak starts again from zero. Your best run and the total number of lessons you have finished never reset.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings, then Delete account. It removes everything on our servers and on your phone, immediately. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription; that is done in the App Store or Google Play.
