Review
Every word you miss goes into your deck and comes back right before you'd forget it. Words from your games too.
From your first word up
Every language has its own levels. English: No levels: ten collections, every item rated. Every item has its own difficulty rating, from how common it is, and it moves as people answer it.

Ratings you can trust
Everyone starts at 1200
No placement test. Your first rated games set your rating, and new players move faster until it settles.
Speed and Classic
Fast games (3 to 5 seconds) and thoughtful ones (8 to 12) are different skills, so they have separate ratings.
Built to be fair
Both players get the same questions, and the clock starts when you can see the question. Strong players can't farm easy levels for rating.
