Practice Types

In WotB, there are two types of practice: Regular Practice and Spaced Repetition.
Each list can be practiced using either method, as they operate independently.

Regular Practice

The key rule of regular practice is: a practiced word will not appear again until all other words in the list have been reviewed.

You can select one of two word-fetching methods for practice:

• Random Order: Words from the list are drawn randomly, but the key rule still applies.
• Descending Probability: Words most likely to be drawn from the Scrabble bag are presented first. ^

You can switch the drawing method at any time. However, the key rule remains: if a word has already been reviewed in one method (e.g., Random Order), it will not reappear until the entire list has been reviewed.

^ Technical Note: Words are ordered by the number of possible combinations in which they can be drawn from the bag, assuming N tiles are drawn (where N is the word length). As a result, longer words are prioritized. To avoid this, it’s recommended to group words of the same length into separate lists.

Spaced Repetition

WotB offers a basic implementation of the spaced repetition algorithm, where the repetition interval adjusts based on your answer evaluation.

Currently, the only available setting is the number of new cards introduced daily (default: 20).
