Use tags to label your vocabulary

Tags are a flat, free-form way to label entries — grammar:verb, theme:cooking, level:b2, just-learned — anything you’d want to filter on later. Unlike wordbooks, tags don’t carry any extra meaning; they’re just labels.

An entry can have many tags; a tag can be on many entries. Tags appear automatically in your tag list once you’ve used them on at least one entry — there’s no “create a tag” step.

Tag a single entry

  1. Open the entry from your Vocabulary list.
  2. In the entry’s tag area, tap the + chip (or the existing tag list to add another).
  3. Type a new tag name or pick from the suggestions.

Tag many entries at once

  1. In the Vocabulary list, long-press an entry to enter selection mode.
  2. Tap more entries to add them to the selection.
  3. Tap the label icon in the AppBar (tooltip “Tag selected entries”).
  4. Pick the tag (or type a new one).

To remove a tag from many entries at once, use Remove tag from selected (label-off icon) in the same selection-mode AppBar.

Manage tags

To browse, count, and clean up your tags:

  1. In the Vocabulary tab, tap the filter by tag icon.
  2. Pick Manage tags… from the menu.

The Tags screen lists every tag you’ve used, each with a count of entries — “french (12 entries)”.

  • Delete a tag — tap the trash icon on its row (tooltip “Delete tag”), or swipe the row left. Deleting the tag removes it from every entry it was on; the entries themselves are untouched.
  • Empty state: if you haven’t tagged anything yet, the screen reads “No tags yet — Tags appear here after you add them to entries.”

Filter your vocab by tag

In the Vocabulary tab:

  1. Tap Filters & sort, then Filter by tag (label-outline icon).
  2. Pick a tag. For long lists, Search tags… at the top of the menu lets you type-ahead.

The list narrows to entries with that tag. Combine with other filters (language, wordbook) to drill in further.

Tags vs wordbooks

TagsWordbooks
CreatedAutomatically when you first use themExplicitly via + New wordbook
VisualFlat labelGrouping with its own detail screen
Best forCross-cutting attributes — grammar:verb, level:b2Coherent collections — “Tokyo trip”, “chapter 3”
Auto-appliedNoYes, via definition tags
Reviewable as a deckNot directlyYes — filter to wordbook → Start Flashcards

You can use both freely. Most people end up with a few wordbooks for “things I’m working on” and a small set of tags for cross-cutting properties.
