Progress without the mystery
The Today bar counts a card only after you remember it. Pressing Forgot keeps that card in the remaining total until you answer it successfully later.
Four simple choices
Choose how recall felt. The small label is the next review estimate. Defaults are 10 minutes, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days; you can change them in Settings.
Three games to play
The games use the word set selected above the game screen, including learning levels, usage-frequency ranges, sports, hobbies, and activities.
W
Wort Rally
Match German words to English meanings before the 75-second clock runs out. Solved cards fade away in place, while later refills bring in their missing partners.
B
Blitz 60
Choose the correct English meaning, build a streak, and score as many points as possible in 60 seconds. Each answer advances automatically to keep the pace fast.
S
Sharp Ears
Listen to natural German pronunciation and identify the word across ten rounds. The answer and definition remain visible until you press Next.
Levels and quality checks
Every card has one clear learning label. Standard vocabulary uses A1-C2; curated slang and highly colloquial vocabulary uses Street instead of pretending slang is a seventh CEFR level. Word type, activity, and usage rank remain available as optional filters.
For 10,560 cards, the level is matched directly to graded German material. Another 639 transparent compounds or word-family forms inherit a documented level, and 1,801 otherwise unattested items use an estimate calibrated against the directly matched vocabulary. CEFR does not prescribe one universal level for every individual word, so a card's level tooltip says whether its result is direct, inferred, or estimated.
All 13,000 German example sentences are unique, and every card now passes a full-deck check that its displayed headword is actually present in its German sentence. Sentence pairs were reviewed individually during deck production; the structural audit is an additional guard against mismatched cards.
