A vocabulary tool you can actually keep using. Fun, because you judge rather than recall — the question is which category a word belongs to, and a wrong guess stays on the board instead of stopping you. Easy to keep up, because a round is a minute, the daily goal is twelve words, and nothing piles up: no review queue, no due dates, no backlog waiting when you come back after a week.
