💎 The WordHammer Economy

Our platform uses a balanced system of incentives to keep you motivated and ensure you are learning effectively without burning out.

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.

📜 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.
