Getting started is easy
Step 1: Study
Flip flashcards, read definitions and real-world examples, then add your own memory tricks to make words stick.
Step 2: Rate yourself
After seeing the answer, tell us how well you knew it: Again, Hard, Good, or Easy. Be honest — it helps the system help you.
Step 3: Come back tomorrow
Our smart scheduler figures out the perfect time to show each word again — right before you'd forget it.
Understanding your progress
Every word moves through 4 stages as you study it:
New

Just started — comes back soon
Reviewing
Getting familiar — intervals are growing
Mastered
You know it well! Won't show up for weeks
What do the rating buttons mean?
After you see a word's definition, rate how well you knew it:
Didn't know it at all. The word will come back very soon.
Barely recalled it. The word will come back quickly.
Knew it with some thought. Next review will be in a few days.
