How spaced repetition works
We forget most of what we have just learnt within a month. But every time a word is recalled at the moment it was about to fade, it holds on longer. Spaced repetition does nothing else: it places each review just before you would forget, and pushes the following ones further apart as the word settles in.
Here a card climbs seven steps. You knew it: it moves up one step and comes back later — the next day, then after three days, a week, sixteen days, a month and a half, finally four months. You missed it: it drops back to the first step and returns in the next session. A word you have truly learnt ends up asking almost nothing of you, which is the whole point.
A session serves at most 20 cards; the rest waits for the next one. Three minutes a day beats an hour once a month — it is the spacing that makes things stick, not the sitting.
Cards are added from the vocabulary lists, with the “add to my cards” button. They stay in this browser, and so does your progress: no account, no sign-up, nothing sent to the server — and clearing the site data clears both. My vocabulary list shows them all, with their due dates, and knows how to export them together with their progress.
