πŸ’Ž The WordHammer Economy

  • Usage: Use Gems to refill your Hearts instantly if you run out during a session.
  • Shop: Future updates will include a Gem shop for exclusive avatars and themes.
❀️

Hearts

Hearts represent your daily learning stamina. They ensure you learn in focused bursts.

  • Starting Sessions: Each practice session costs 1 Heart to initiate.
  • Automatic Refill: You regain 1 Heart every 2 hours, up to your maximum capacity.
  • Legacy Bonus: Pro users enjoy a vastly increased or unlimited heart pool.

🧠 The Spaced Repetition Logic

WordHammer doesn't just show you words; it hammers them into your long-term memory using Spaced Repetition (SRS). This is the same technique used by top scholars to master the dense vocabulary required for graduate-level entrance exams.

How Stages Work:

Every word has a "Mastery Stage" from 0 to 6.

  • Stage 0 (New): You've just encountered a high-yield exam word. It will appear frequently.
  • Stages 1-3 (Acquisition): The word is being introduced and reinforced. Intervals between reviews are short.
  • Stages 4-5 (Consolidating): You are beginning to internalize the complex usage. Intervals grow to days and weeks.
  • Stage 6 (Mastered): The word is considered "Golden." You can now use it fluently in academic writing or verbal reasoning sections.

πŸ“œ Stewardship Guidelines

To maintain a high-quality academic environment, we ask all users to adhere to the following:

  • Academic Integrity: Using automated bots or scripts to "farm" XP or Gems is strictly prohibited. It undermines the purpose of serious study.
  • Precision Contributions: If you use the community editing tools, ensure all definitions, etymologies, and examples meet the standards of SAT/GRE literature.
  • Account Security: Never share your login credentials. WordHammer staff will never ask for your password.
