My words

How it works
- Save a word. Every entry has a Save button beside Cite and Share, and so does the word of the day on the homepage. Saved words appear here, newest first.
- Come back each day. Your streak goes up by one on each day you save the word of the day or finish the recall. Miss a day and it starts again at one; your best run is kept.
- Thirty seconds of recall. Once you have saved three words, you get up to five quick questions: a definition to match to its word, or a word to match to its definition. Turn the clock off if you would rather take your time.
- Every streak in one place. My 404 shows this streak together with any other part of the site that keeps one.
