# Flash Cards

> Flip, quiz and race to match the pairs, with a ready-made deck or one you make.

Pick a ready-made deck, from capital cities and Spanish words to element symbols and times tables, or make your own. Learn mode flips each card and keeps the ones you find tricky coming back. Quiz mode asks ten questions with four answers each, and Match is a race to pair every card up. Share any deck with a link.

4. Make your own deck with Make a deck, then share it with the Share button.

## Tips

- In Learn, be honest with Again: the cards you miss come back sooner, which is what makes them stick.
- Take a Quiz after Learn to check what you really know.
- Use Match as a warm-up or a speed challenge once a deck feels easy.
- Keep your own decks short, about 10 to 20 cards, and make a new deck for the next topic.
