Word review runs through every due word across all sets in one go.
Good to know

- A set counts as done after flashcards, PT→EN and EN→PT; each mode earns 10 XP.
- Typed answers tolerate accents and small ending differences.
- Not sure how many words you know? The free 2-minute vocabulary test estimates it.
