The four buttons
Press “Show answer”, then choose one button.
- Again: you did not know the word. It comes back soon, after about ten minutes.
- Hard: you knew it, but only just. It comes back sooner than after Good.
- Good: you knew it. It comes back as planned.
- Easy: you knew it at once. It comes back later than after Good.
Tip: On a keyboard, press Space to show the answer and 1 to 4 to choose a button.
Choices and listening
In these questions you do not rate yourself. A right answer counts as Good. A wrong answer counts as Again, and Wordado shows you the right one.
Slow answers
In choices and listening, a right answer that takes more than 8 seconds counts as Hard. Wordado tells you: “Correct, but slow, so it counts as hard.” Flashcards have no time rule.
Do you need more time? In Settings, under “Studying”, switch off “Count slow answers as ‘hard’”. Then only right or wrong counts.
How the gaps grow
Each time you remember a word, the gap before its next review gets longer: first days, later weeks. When you forget a word, it comes back soon.
In Settings, under “Studying”, “How firmly to remember” makes reviews come less often (Relaxed) or more often (Intensive).
