Two special decks: All Words and Recent Words
On the Flashcards tab, above your wordbook decks, you’ll see two extra cards that aren’t tied to any single wordbook. They’re shortcuts for two common review styles.
All words
The top card is All words (with the books-on-a-shelf icon). It’s exactly what it sounds like — every entry in your vocab, across every wordbook, treated as one big deck.
Subtitle:
- “X cards to review”
- “Due: Y · New: Z”
Tap Review to start. It’s the right pick when you don’t care about wordbook structure and just want to chip away at everything that’s due.
If you’ve never reviewed before, every card here counts as new — they all start in the new pool and graduate into the spaced-repetition schedule once you rate them.
Recent words
The second card is Recent words (with the cards icon). It pulls only the entries you’ve captured within a recent window — by default the last 3 days.
Subtitle:
- The window in the title — “Today” if window is 1 day, “Last 3 days”, etc.
- “X cards captured in this window”
- “Due: Y · New: Z”
Use this when you’ve been on a capture spree and want to review just the fresh batch, without your older words diluting the deck.
Change the Recent Words window
The window is a setting:
- Open Settings → Flashcards → Recent words window.
- Drag the slider — “Last 1 day” through “Last 14 days”.
- The label updates live; the change takes effect next time you open the Flashcards tab.
When to use which
| You want to… | Best deck |
|---|---|
| Knock down today’s due across everything | All words |
| Drill the words you snapped on a recent trip | Recent words |
| Focus on a specific topic / class / book | A wordbook deck |
The two special decks share the same review session — same Again/Hard/Good/Easy ratings, same reveal-and-rate flow as a wordbook deck. Your progress is saved per entry, not per deck, so a card you rated Easy in All words is also rated Easy in its wordbook.
