What spaced repetition means here
Spaced repetition schedules words for later review rather than asking you to repeat the entire collection every time. In Stickly, a word’s review result updates its next-review state.
The schedule is not a guarantee that you will remember a word. Meaning, context, practice, and the words you choose still matter. A correct answer is one review result, not proof of fluent use.
When an inline review can happen
A saved learned-language word must occur on an eligible page, be due, and have the relevant highlighting and practice controls enabled. Opening the highlight can then show a short typing challenge.
Browsing is not a complete review queue. A rare word may never appear in your next articles. Use the word hub and flashcards when you want to review without waiting for an encounter.
Keep help separate from recall
Reading a translation or revealing an answer gives you help. It is different from recalling an answer before seeing it. Do not count every colored highlight as a completed practice attempt.
If an inline task interrupts the article, turn practice off or pause the tool on that site. Selection translation and remembered-word highlighting remain separate choices.
Use a review without losing the article
- Notice a due word while reading.
- Try to recall its meaning before looking at the answer.
- Complete or reveal the review honestly, then continue reading.
- Use a separate review session for words that do not return.
Questions about this workflow
Do I have to wait for a word to appear again?
No. The word hub and flashcards provide a separate review route. Inline practice is an additional opportunity during reading, not a promise that browsing will cover every due word.
Is the inline review the same as Stickly’s tile game?
No. The inline review is a short word task on the page you are reading. The standalone tile game is a separate webapp experience.
