What's the difference between independently / autonomously / unassisted / without assistance / alone / individually

A
🇬🇧English
autonomously

More formal, often used for systems, organisations or persons emphasising self-governance or internal decision-making capacity; close to 'independently' but with formal/technical nuance.

B2Rarely

The platform allows learners to work autonomously, choosing their pace and materials.

U
🇬🇧English

Specifies doing something without help; narrower and often used for tasks or tests rather than general independence.

B2Rarely

W
🇬🇧English
without assistance

Direct phrase meaning 'without help'; synonymous with 'independently' in many contexts but slightly more explicit.

B1Often

Complete the exercise without assistance.

🇬🇧English

Focuses on being without other people ('by oneself') or without company; when used for actions it may imply lack of help but often stresses solitude.

B1Very Often

I
🇬🇧English
individually

Emphasises 'one by one' or 'per person' rather than self-reliance; differs from 'independently' because it often refers to separate units or people.

🇬🇧English

Informal/colloquial, often used for performances or activities done alone; similar to 'alone' and sometimes to 'independently' but with a more stylistic tone.
