You can jump to the next word by pressing Enter, or display the answer for the question by pressing ESC (which means Give Up). To mark the current word Mastered (the world will not be tested again) press m. To open the dictionary press d.

All your settings/changes will be saved under ".words" directory inside the program directory.

## File Menu

1. Practice Sets

   These are the sets of words you could work on. Several different sets are available by default. Also any word categories that you add will be automatically put under this menu. When a practice set runs out of words (for example, when you master all the words in the set), it is disabled. For advanced users : see the file "files/patterns_to_index.txt" or ".words/patterns_to_index.txt"

4. Exit without Saving
