How the repeats work

Every word sits in one of five boxes. Get it right and it moves up a box and waits longer before it comes back — 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 8 days, then a fortnight. Get it wrong and it drops to box 1 and returns in the next round.

A word counts as mastered once it reaches box 5. That is roughly a month of getting it right, which is about how long a 听写 list has to stick.
