Study efficiently by prioritizing more common vocabulary first.
-
Cards are ordered by word frequency, but each definition is split into its own atomic card.
As a result, high-frequency words may surface multiple cards early, including less common meanings.
-
To make this easier to manage, words with two or more definition cards are labeled with sense-priority tags:
core,extend, andrare, so you can focus on the most useful meanings first. -
If a card is not relevant to your goals, feel free to suspend or delete it.
