What is spaced repetition and how is it used here?
Spaced repetition is a study method that schedules reviews at expanding intervals to maximize long‑term memory. Lexi Lumi uses it to help you remember words efficiently: - Automatically schedules reviews for saved words - Adapts intervals based on your performance (hard → sooner, easy → later) - Surfaces due cards first so short sessions stay effective - Syncs across devices so you can review anywhere
