- Step 1: Open the set you want to study. Tap "Learn".
- Step 2: Read the definition. Type in the correct term. Make sure to spell it correctly, or it won't count.
- Step 3: Tap "Go". If the word was correct, the checks turn green and move on to the next word. If you typed the incorrect word or spelled it incorrectly, it will tell you the right answer. Type in the right answer to proceed.
- Step 4: If you don't know the word, tap "Don't Know." The app will tell you the right answer and then you type it in to move on.
- Step 5: Check out how you did at the end. "Unknown" means that you didn't answer the question correctly the first time, "Learned" means you answered the question correctly, and "Mastered" means you answered the question correctly twice (the game runs it through for you a second time when you press "Next".) Do it again to beat your previous score!

Students: Additional Study Activities on the Web Version
Here are some quick highlights of the additional study activities you can do on the web version. I'm not going into detail on these since these aren't capable on the mobile apps, and the directions are very clearly spelled out for each activity on the website.
- Option 1: The Speller. Type what you hear. An automated voice will say the word and you have to type it in correctly.
- Option 2: The Test. There are 5 written questions in which you must provide the correct word, five multiple choice questions, and five true/false questions.
- Option 3: Scatter. Similar to the "Match" activity on the mobile app, drag each term on top of its definition until all of the pairs disappear.
- Option 4: Space Race. Definitions will scroll across the screen. "Destroy" them by typing in the correct term and pressing "enter". Do it before the definition gets all the way across the screen.
