As I think, it could be very useful, but boring, while reading more than 13 words per day. It was very interesting First; but when I clicked "wrong" at every word presentation, it forced me to repeat all 13 words again (all in one day!). I don't have enough time to continue this way. It may be better if you design it in the way that every wrong answer could be repeated the same day, or to be asked in future. Let it could be stopped whenever the user wants.
Finally, I appriciate your noteworthy new method. I will try to use it, but I hope you make it more usre friendly, as well as possible.
