I just made a new list and clicked on contents. I saw that some of the words in the list were highlighted green, and there was an option to click on all of the green-highlighted words to "remove from my words". I remember I asked about this feature a while back, and was told that if we click on it, those green-highlighted words would be removed from our Skritter accounts, and wouldn't show up in the review queue ever again. So I've been avoiding it, but I was just thinking that it would be a much better feature if those green-highlighted words were just taken off that individual list. I don't know why anyone would want them completely removed from their Skritter database, especially since they just added them.

Sometimes the green-highlighted words are only highlighted in certain study parts, such as Writing, or Tones, but not the rest of the study parts. An even better feature would be to have those parts that are highlighted removed from the list.

The Remove from my words button is created if you want to get rid of words that you have already studied but decide to delete from your 'My Words' list. They will no longer be included in your reviews.
The reason why some words in your newly created list are green and have this option is that they are already in your 'My words' list. So it means you have already studied them before so hence the option to delete them would you want to.

You can already remove words from the list by editing the section that contains the words, if the list is unpublished.

And if they are published you can still do this by creating a remix of that list.
