Revised questions and your saved progress

The 399 recently added words now have different checkpoint and comprehensive contexts. Earlier answers remain in your browser history, but they do not complete the revised questions.

These authored situations are different from the teaching examples. Returning to the same question later is repeated practice, not a new unseen test every time.
