What's new

Version 3.4.4 · 5 Oct 2026 · 5 days ago

Hide words you already know: tap ⋯ on a word to keep it out of hourly words and quizzes. Bring it back anytime in Study settings. Fixed a bug where the same word could keep coming back. Mastered now means you got a word right on two different days. Some words may show Familiar until you get them right again. A cleaner, more consistent look across the app, and an easier typing keyboard in quizzes.
