Kotoba Quiz ā SMā2 Guide
SuperMemo-2 Algorithm
What is SMā2?
SMā2 is a spacedārepetition algorithm. After each question you grade your recall (Again/Hard/Good/Easy) and the app schedules the next review.
The SM-2 algorithm optimizes your learning by scheduling reviews just as you are about to forget them. It adapts to your performance, showing difficult words more often and easy words less often.
Tips for Effective Practice
- Use Due only to clear your queue first.
- Introduce a few new items daily with a modest New cap.
- Suspend or Boost leeches to avoid frustration.
- Grade honestly; save Easy for effortless recalls.

Understanding the parameters
Due only
Due only serves items that are due now. If nothing is due, it falls back to the earliest upcoming seen item.
New cap
New cap limits how many unseen items you introduce per day so you donāt overload future reviews.
Leech
Leech items are those you often forget. Suspend hides them; Boost keeps them in rotation with priority and a small hint.
