Today’s review
The number is today’s share of your daily review goal (30 words unless you change it in Account), the words you’re closest to forgetting first, with the first few named. Once it’s done the card says Done for today, and the rest wait for the coming days. When nothing is due, it says you’re all caught up. See Daily reviews.
Continue the path
The batch you’re on, which stage it belongs to, and the next few new words. Learn new words opens the batch so you can choose how to practice it. See A study session and The path, stages and packs.
The map and its legend
Every tile is a word: gray is new, pale teal learning, teal known and purple mastered. Under the map, each step shows how many words are on it and what moves a word up. Known and mastered explains each step.
The cards on the right
- Your week: words newly known in the last 7 days, how many answers, and how many days you studied. Opens Your week.
- Words to watch: the words you’ve missed most in the last 30 days, with a button to practice just those. See Decks.
- Themed packs appear here once you’ve finished stage 2.
