If there is a sound, it will play it. Swipe right or tap the 'tick' if you are confident that you know the word correctly. This will place the item in a higher 'box' which will need to be reviewed at a later time. If you wish to skip this word for a few minutes, tap the 'clock' icon. If you can't remember it or are unsure, swipe left or tap the 'cross' to display the meaning. You can still mark the item as correct by tapping the 'box' icon on the bottom right. If the item is marked as incorrect, then it will be reset and put it in box 1 and you will start reviewing the item as if it were a new word. This will give you the practice on the item that it needs. If you wish to manually choose when the item show be reviewed next, then press and hold on the 'box' icon.
