Frequently asked questions
Do the flashcards and the daily plan share my progress?
Yes, completely. There is one list of words and one record of what you have done with them, so a word you answer in the deck is a word the C1 plan shows as scheduled, and a word you mark done on the C1 word list stops appearing in both.
That is the point of having both. Some days a list you work down is what you want; some days you would rather be shown one word at a time and answer it. Neither puts you behind on the other.
Where do new cards come from?
From the top of the C1 list, commonest first, the same order the plan hands words over in.
If you have a C1 plan running, the deck will not introduce a word the plan has not reached yet: new cards stop at the end of today's list. That keeps one pace rather than two. Without a plan, the deck deals down the whole level, 4,465 words, as fast as you want it to.
How does the spacing work?
It is the SM-2 algorithm with Anki's defaults, which is what most spaced-repetition apps use. A new card is shown twice a few minutes apart, then a day later. From there each correct answer multiplies the gap by that card's own ease factor, so cards you find easy fall away to months and cards you keep missing stay close.
| Grade | Key | What it means | Next gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Again | 1 | Forgotten. The card goes back to the start of the learning steps and returns in a minute. | restarts |
| Hard | 2 | Recalled, but it hurt. The gap grows a little and the card gets marginally harder to keep. | × 1.2 |
| Good | 3 | Recalled, the normal answer. The gap grows by the card's own ease factor. | × ease |
| Easy | 4 | Instant. The gap jumps, and the card's ease rises so it comes back less often still. | × ease × 1.3 |
Answering Again on a card you had learned is a lapse: it drops the ease, comes back in ten minutes, and resumes at half the interval it had.
How many new cards can I study each day?
The deck follows your plan’s daily word list by default, or allows 20 new cards a day without a plan. The daily limit survives reloading the page, and words first studied in list mode or on a vocabulary entry count too.
When the cards are clear, choose Increase today’s limit to add new cards. The extra allowance expires at local midnight; your usual daily target stays unchanged. For reference, the C1 steady plan introduces about 20 new words a day over 224 days.
Can I use the keyboard?
Space or Enter shows the answer, then Space again grades it Good. 1–4 are Again, Hard, Good and Easy. Z or U undoes the last grade, including the effort it recorded.
What is on the back of a card?
The word with its article (for a noun the gender is exactly what you are trying to recall, so it belongs on the answer side), its pronunciation, its part of speech and its English senses. Then one real example sentence with its translation, the word picked out in it, and audio for both the word and the sentence where a recording exists. A link goes to the word's full entry for the rest of its forms and examples.
After that the four grades, and nothing else: in a deck the grade is the decision. To take a word out of rotation for good, mark it done on its entry or in the plan. It stops being dealt here either way.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything is worked out in your browser and saved there. Signing in is optional and does one thing: it copies the same record between your own devices, so a deck you cleared on your phone is cleared on your laptop.
Is it free?
Yes, all of it, with no limits and nothing to unlock. The word lists are published under CC BY-SA 4.0. See sources and licences.
