How Card Frequency Works
- When you first set Know or Repeat, the word starts with index 1.
- If the same mark stays on and the word appears again in normal generation, its index increases.
- Know: higher index means the word appears less often. Repeat: higher index means the word appears more often.
- If you remove the mark, the word returns to base level. A new mark starts the cycle from index 1 again.
- Opening Know/Repeat filter lists does not increase index; index changes only in normal generation.
- Favorites do not affect frequency.
- Indexes are kept after app updates and cache updates, and reset only with Reset.
This behavior is inspired by the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve: hard words come back sooner, familiar words appear less often.
