Mark a correctly guessed card as "hard" or "struggling" for words that don't come naturally.

As the title suggests, sometimes you are in front of a word and you guess it correctly but know that it's not yet stuck in your brain and know they require extra attention. There are words like that, you can find them in a context of learning, but then when comes the time to use them they are gone. So what I do personnaly is that I swipe them like I failed in order to have them back quicker, but they don't necessarily need to pop up as soon as new / failed words, and it feels unnatural to swipe to the failed deck when you got it, compared to the ones you don't have a clue. It would be nice to check something on the card to mark it as "hard", for these situations of "I know this one but it gives me a hard time or I'm always unsure". So it would be more frequent than regular correct guesses, but not as much as failed ones. These words just need extra attention for a while :)

Hi Ian, thanks for your post! Here are a few tips for handling more difficult words: - Be stricter with yourself - every time you don’t remember a word correctly (letter by letter), swipe it left. The algorithm will then repeat it much more often than the cards you mark as “known.” - Use the “+” button to add the word again, but in a slightly different form. For example: “evaluate” → “I evaluated.” This way, you’ll learn the word in more than one context. - Sort the word into a specific set - for example, you can create a set named “Problematic Words.” You can then filter this set and focus your practice on it.

Thanks Michaela for your reply, but my point was not words you don't know or misspelled, but words that you do know but feel insecure about or take more time to guess, though correctly, compared to the other words. Sometimes you need to see them more but not as much as "failed" words that you swiped left. The problem with the "problematic word" tag idea is that you can't for now add other tags if needed and mostly when you have lots of cards, can't bulk edit to have a tag on numerous ones at a time.
