How much you review

RetainWord shows each word again just before you’d forget it. Showing it a little earlier means more reviews, but fewer forgotten words. Pick the balance that suits you; you can change it any time.

Fewer reviews Less time each day You remember about 85 in 100 words Balanced Recommended A good mix of time and memory You remember about 90 in 100 words Remember more Roughly twice the reviews You remember about 95 in 100 words. Useful before an exam or a move abroad
