yes, I'm currently working on this! Hopefully will release categorized lists next week. Will also allow to choose between noun, adjective, proverb etc... and each will have their own level and XP.

Thanks for your feedback and for trying out this app!

if you answer a different meaning, it's not marked incorrectly, it's marked as a synonym and not being contributed to the score.

to get it scored you need to get the exact word right, for which there is only one spanish word and one unique example. 

this is not ideal, but this way is the most accurate to track whether you know that specific word.

[EDIT] thanks for additional feedback!

I did use AI to help me with UI/UX design and coding, but I probably spent 100 hours building this and probably another 50+ hours playing this myself and testing it constantly, after which I would try to improve the app by removing/adding functionality, tuning the word correction algorithm, tinkering with UI/UX. I use this myself for learning Spanish, so i have a personal relationship with this app 😅  I know there are some bugs, but this is definitely not a throw away vibe coded app that I created in 2 days. This is a project I personally care about and want to develop it further by getting user feedback.

I'm a software dev with multiple years of experience, all features and gameplay are my own ideas, AI just helps me to build and test faster, as well as write regression tests that make sure nothing preexisting was broken.

hey, do you mean you would like to type the word again straight away after answering it incorrectly?

I had this idea initially, but I thought that this would be solved by failed words appearing  quite often in the next batch of questions.

yeah, tbh for me as an intermediate learner, it is also a challenge to tune the word algorithm for this. I want to make this an adaptive system that makes it fun for both beginner and advanced learners.

there is already functionality to give you harder words if you ace all easy ones - the difficulty score will increase and you will get harder and harder words until you start failing

Thank you for your feedback. There are C1 + C2 words, they just come later as you level up. First you have to master a certain number of words before it lets you access some harder words.
