Recall it to keep it

You answer from memory, in your own words. It's the practice proven to make vocabulary stick. And each word comes back right before you'd forget it.

Understood, not just checked

Your answer is read for meaning. Not string-matched. Not fuzzy-matched. Get it right in your own words, or learn precisely what separates your answer from the word on screen.

Nothing to learn but the words

Meanings feels familiar from the first minute. A sentence, your answer, the next one. That's all there is to it. On iPhone, iPad, and the web.
