No, and it is worth knowing before you build a habit around it. A word has no learned, known or mastered state, there is no review schedule and no spaced repetition anywhere in WordsTool. Nothing decides that a word is due today.

That is also true within flash cards. Putting a card aside works for the current run only: leave the screen and the run starts whole again. The settings you choose — the order, the disabled cards, the flip time, the pronunciation — are remembered; the progress through them is not.

The same goes for exercises you start yourself from a set. Results are not stored, so there is no history to look back at and no accumulating picture of your weak words.

What does get recorded is only a task assigned by a teacher: those keep progress, answers and mistakes, and they are the only place where a picture builds up over time.

If you are studying alone, the practical way to work with it is to do the sorting yourself — keep a separate set for the words that keep going wrong, and move them out of it when they stop.
