How it works
Review when you need to, so words stick
FSRS brings a word back just as you're about to forget it. Hard words come up more often, while the ones you know drift weeks and months ahead. Fewer reviews, and words that stay.
Auto-lookup
Add any word — we find definitions, phonetics, examples & translation instantly
Review buttons
Tap how well you remembered and the schedule adjusts
Smart schedule
Intervals adapt to you: a word you remember less well comes back sooner
Words in the wild
Meet each word in real life
Photograph it, learn it
Take or upload a photo of an object: WordBonk identifies it in the language you are learning and adds a card with its picture.

A word sticks better when recalling it takes a little effort. So a card doesn't come back every day but after growing gaps: a day, a few days, a week. Miss it and it returns soon. The gaps are worked out by the FSRS algorithm.
