This is going to hurt...

First Flash for the phone became so bloated that I couldn't keep it as a program on my Android and have anything else.

Then my new laptop's Ubuntu refused to play nicely with Flash.

Then I spent 4 months without steady internet.

I have 16,000 overdue reviews and rather a lot of the first bunch that came up are things that weren't solid 8 months ago. It's going to take me a while to build up the nerve but I'm going to have to nuke and restart.

...sigh...

You will have a sweet comeback and you will better than you've ever been before!

You might try using Save Me on the left side of My Words.

Not long ago, I was over 10,000 due (after taking a break from a Skritter binge), I think around 13,000 to be exact, and have made my way back to 1,155, trying to break under 1000 but it keeps coming back up. When I saw that astronomical number, I truly didn't think I'd make it back and just like you, I turned to the forum and asked about the nuking my lists LOL
But I chose to not nuke my lists because I've got too many going on. If I had only five or less, I think I'd have nuked it, muhahaha

To work my way through the list, I chose to study parts separately, Reading and Tone practices are nice because you can go through them quickly, hence, you'll see your list slowly melting. For Definitions practice, I like to study by list only, this way, the words I stumble on will reappear quicker and help me memorize.
But Skritter really is better when all parts are studied simultaneously, so once I'm at a more stable level, I'll switch back to that mode.

And by the way, I am only studying via the web, and doing Writing practice by hand. On the iPhone or iPad, I think I'd crush my list, but I own neither devices, haha.


So anyway, it can be done, 加油! ^_^
