I know that knowing complex vocab that sometimes appears isn't always necessary for answering a question, but similar to the new games can we get one that is based on lsat vocab?

Hello!
As you said, you don't necessarily need to know what every single vocab means to succeed on the exam, it definitely does help if you know, so I totally see your point!
Speaking of my personal experience, I created a flashcard deck for myself to review in my free time, filled with every unfamiliar word I encountered on the LSAT.
Because the level of vocab varies so much from person to person, the definition of 'complex vocab' is pretty subjective. In my case, English is not my first language, so my personal list of words was quite long, including ones that other people would already know of.
With that being said, I would recommend compiling your own running list of words you didn't know from the practice. While I do think it will be helpful if there's a pre-made one created by someone else (like 7Sage), it will be the most effective if it actually contains words that you don't know.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
It would be nice if during review, there was a feature that allowed you to save troublesome words. It would be a good reference for studying, but also provide data for which words should be added to a game like this. Or even just be used to generate a list of the words that most trip up 7Sage users.
What kind of words do you have in mind? (Just curious to see if what I'm thinking is in the ballpark.)
@Kevin_Lin Two words that come to mind are evince and dearth
@clannaman3 And what the heck is a finial?!
@Kevin_Lin Specious, prudent/imprudent, prevarication, aberration, putative, windfall, posterity are some that I've come across!
@Kevin_Lin postulated is one that I came across yesterday.
@Kevin_Lin I'd like to shout out my art history degree for teaching me what a finial is. But "spurious" is one that stumped me in an older PT.
