In a remarkable contribution to the field of education and language learning, Abhilash Modi (born on 31 July 1990) from Rajasthan has been officially recognized by the World Book of Records for creating the first-ever educational game to learn English words, titled “LEXO”.
Designed to bridge the gap between learning and entertainment, LEXO is a groundbreaking edutainment game that simplifies the process of learning and recalling English vocabulary and spellings. What sets this innovative game apart is its focus on human interaction over digital immersion, encouraging players to engage with real people—friends, family, classmates—while expanding their vocabulary in a playful and meaningful way.
The name “LEXO” is derived from the word lexicons, symbolizing a collection of words or vocabularies. With its appeal spanning ages 8 to 80, the game not only supports language learning but also reinforces social connection—an element often missing in today’s tech-driven education tools.
“LEXO is not just a game, it’s a movement—to bring back joy in learning, with real conversations and real people,” says Modi, who developed the concept with a vision to create an inclusive and engaging learning tool for all age groups.
This record-setting achievement redefines how educational games can serve as powerful tools for collaborative learning, and stands as an inspiring example of India’s innovation in education.
