How the cards are dealt:

Each time a deck is dealt, cards are selected from three piles, new, right-one-time, mastery. There is a ratio of 50%, 30%, 20% from each pile. As you get cards right, they get promoted from the new to the right-one-time and then the mastery pile. If you get a mastery card wrong, it goes all the way back to the new pile. In this way, the system keeps challenging you and also mixing it up!. You won't get bored seeing the same old words.

Thanks to the late Sebastian Leitner for inventing this card file system.
