Frequently asked questions

How do I change the number of items?

Use the minus and plus controls on a category card. The maximum is the highest level you have reached in that category, up to the number of available eligible items.

What does Common Items Only do?

Turn it on in Settings to generate lists from items currently marked as common. Category totals on the home screen adjust to show the eligible number of common items.

How do I replace an unfamiliar item?

On a generated list, tap the refresh button beside the item. You can preview another choice before replacing it and optionally add the current item to your uncommon list. Replacement is unavailable for Face and Birthday lists.

How do Mixed lists work?

Tap the settings button on the Mixed category card, select at least two categories, and save. Mixed lists draw from the categories you selected.

How do I create and practice my own list?

Open My Lists from the home screen, create a list, and add your items in the order you want to remember them. You can reorder, edit, or delete your own lists and practice them in order or shuffled. Built-in app categories cannot be edited.

What is Major System Practice?

Major System Practice teaches the app’s number anchors in groups. Use Learn Anchors to review each word, IPA pronunciation, and consonant sound, then practice both Number → Anchor and Anchor → Number. Your Progress shows the anchors you have learned in each direction.

How do Cards work?

The Cards category generates a sequence from a standard 52-card deck. Study the card order, then use Full List or By Position testing and choose each answer from the card selector.

How do I shuffle Face names?

Tap the settings button on the Face category card. After confirmation, Shuffle Names assigns a new set of names while keeping names appropriately matched. You can restore the original names from the same sheet.

What is the difference between Full List and By Position?

Full List asks you to enter every item in order. By Position asks what appeared at randomized positions until the list is complete. By Position is available for supported word categories and is not used for Face or Birthday.

Why is story generation unavailable?

Mnemonic stories are available only for supported categories and list lengths. Availability can also depend on the capabilities of your device and operating system.

How do I unlock the next level?

Complete your current highest level with every answer correct. The next list length unlocks automatically, and you can start it directly from the result screen.

Where is my progress stored?

Your levels, Major System progress, personal lists, Face name assignments, item familiarity choices, category selections, and preferred challenge lengths are stored locally on your device. The app does not currently synchronize this information between devices.

Will deleting the app remove my progress?

Yes. Because the app stores its data locally, deleting the app removes that local data, subject to any device backup you control.
