The big picture
Every word on your list has a confidence score between 0% and 100%. It moves up when you answer correctly and down when you don't. The system isn't just counting how many times you got it right — it's tracking whether you actually know the word.
What the colours mean
The wordmap shows every word as a coloured square. The colour tells you how confident the system is in your knowledge of that word right now:
Not seen — you haven't met this word yet.
Very low / Low / Mid — building confidence, with some way to go.
Strong — you've been getting it right; close to the top.
Building — you've nailed it in a session, but it needs to stick across more days before it counts as Secure.
Secure — you've typed it correctly on at least three different days. Genuinely locked in.
Due for review — was Secure, but it's been a while; time to check you still know it.
How a word becomes Secure
It's not about getting the answer right four times in a single five-minute session — that just proves you can do it today. Secure means you've typed the word correctly on at least three different days. The system wants evidence that the word actually sticks in your memory, not that you crammed it.
Multiple choice helps you get to know a new word, but picking from four options doesn't count towards Secure. Once your confidence in a word reaches 70%, the tester asks you to type it. Get it wrong and it drops back to multiple choice until you've built it up again.
Why words come back as "Due for review"
You know how if you don't see a word for ages, you forget it? The system does too. Once a word is Secure, it'll come back for review at growing intervals — first a week later, then a fortnight, then a month, then longer. Each time you get it right at review, the next review is pushed further away.
If you get it wrong at a review, the word goes back to needing work and comes round again soon — exactly when you need it to.
The five queues
The boxes at the top sort your words by what they need from you right now:
Due for review — Secure words ready for their next check. Tackle these first.
Struggling — you've tried these several times but keep getting them wrong. Focused work needed.
Learning — new or barely-seen words. Build your range here.
Nearly there — almost Secure. A few more goes should do it.
Building — high confidence but not yet across enough days. Practise on a different day to lock them in.
Test my weak spots
When you click Test my weak spots, you don't have to choose what to practise — the system picks for you, prioritising anything Due for review and then your weakest words. The more you let it drive, the more efficient your revision becomes.
What the tooltip tells you
Hover any square to see the word, its translation, its confidence percentage, your total attempts (and how many you got right vs wrong), and how many distinct days you've answered it correctly.
The big picture
Every quiz question has a confidence score between 0% and 100%. It moves up when you answer correctly and down when you don't. The system isn't just counting how many times you got it right — it's tracking whether you actually know the answer.
What the colours mean
The confidence map shows every question as a coloured square. The colour tells you how confident the system is in your knowledge right now:
Not seen — you haven't answered this question yet.
Very low / Low / Mid — building confidence, with some way to go.
Strong — you've been getting it right; close to the top.
Building — you've nailed it in a session, but it needs to stick across more days before it counts as Secure.
Secure — you've answered correctly on at least three different days. Genuinely locked in.
How a question becomes Secure
It's not about getting it right four times in one five-minute session — that just proves you can do it today. Secure means you've answered correctly on at least three different days. The system wants evidence that the answer actually sticks, not that you crammed it.
Topics and subtopics
Each topic (like 1.1 The Gods) is split into subtopics (like Identifying the gods or The Homeric Hymn to Demeter). The Focus on these list shows the subtopics where your confidence is lowest, so you know where to put your time.
Test my weak spots
When you click Test my weak spots, you don't have to choose what to practise — the system drills the questions you've answered before and keep getting wrong, mixing in others that aren't yet secure. Questions you've never seen are left out, so review stays focused on shoring up your weak spots.
