How can I use Flashcards mode?

Knowt's Flashcards Mode is a simple way of going through your flashcards set to practice terms and definitions.

Written by Abheek Pandoh

Getting started

  1. Open the flashcard set you want to study and click Flashcards in the study modes at the top. The first card appears right below.

  2. Click the card to flip it, and use the arrows (or your keyboard) to move between cards. Use Get a hint, the speaker icon to hear the term, or the star to mark a card.

  3. Under the card you'll find a Card Sorting toggle, plus shuffle, settings and fullscreen buttons.

Options

Click the gear icon under the card to open Flashcards Options:

  • Question Format — answer with the term, the definition, or both.

  • Learning Options — Cards sorting, Study starred terms only and Shuffle terms.

Changes apply immediately — there's no save button.

Tip: Turn on Card Sorting to sort cards into "Know" and "Don't know" piles as you go — see Can I sort flashcards like on Quizlet?
