I remember a while back when I used the trial version of Skritter, I could shuffle the words. I liked that because then your mind can't cheat.

I also really miss practicing a word list on Skritter, and being able to look to see how many words are left before I've gone through the entire list. There's no way to do this now. Even if we remember to look for the first word to show up again, we still don't know how far along we are in a list if we're somewhere in the middle of it. Before, what I would do is, if I was using Skritter and I suddenly had to get up do something, I would check to see if I'm almost done with the list, and if so I would finish the list and feel "complete". But now, there's no way for me to that

Hi Bohan,

The review function does have some randomness built-in but it's mostly a function of how long since you last studied a word and how well you have been able to recall that word.

For progress against a list, when you are studying everything and have a list you are adding from you can hit the lists tab at the top of the screen and it will show you your progress through the section of the list you are working on.

so there isn't any way to take a brand new list and shuffle the words right after making the list? Or after studying through the list once or twice, and then shuffle them to make sure we're not cheating by memorizing the order they come in?

There used to be a wonderful "shuffle" button, what happened to it? :(
