三步 · How the run works
Revise
Revision levels weave your backlog back in on a spaced schedule — right around when you're about to forget — across mixed game modes, so review never feels like review.
Master
Words that hold up across days and modes ascend the mastery tiers. Reach Grandmaster on all 1000 and the speedrun is over. You win.
境界 · The Mastery Tiers
Every word climbs its own ladder. Each answer feeds its stats, and words that survive across days and game modes rise one tier. Finish with all 1000 at the top.
