I’m wondering if we can add some sort of filter to the practice section where we can filter words to practice by frequency in which they appear in our saved texts.
Reasoning being I want my flashcard practice to focus on “high value” words/phrases, those that appear more often because they’re more common, rather than practicing every single word even if it’s highly specific and rare.
For the record, practice already introduces your words highest frequency first, so the more common words do come up before the rare ones. The catch is that the ordering uses how frequent the word is in the language generally, based on a large corpus, rather than how often it appears in your own saved texts.
Building a personal frequency list from your own library has come up before, here: Word Frequency for Wordlist. I still think it’s a nice idea, but it adds a fair amount of complexity to the codebase and the interface, so it isn’t something I’m working on at the moment.
The closest thing that exists today is the Source row on the Practice page. Click it and you can pick one or more specific texts, and practice only the words saved from those. That works well if you want to focus on the vocabulary of whatever you’re reading right now.
Please let me know if that helps.
