Flash sessions: 15 s or 30 s Short on time? Pick a Flash session and learn a few words in the time it takes to unlock your apps. Same games, same words, same rewards only the timer changes. Available during onboarding and in your settings. Under the hood • Your progress is saved more reliably when the dictionary updates in the background: if you start a lesson during an update, the lesson waits for it (a few seconds at most); if an update arrives during a lesson, it waits until you're done. • If the app is closed while your progress is being uploaded, the upload resumes automatically the next time you open it.
