Saving a new word requires Starter, Plus or Pro; compare plans to choose the saving allowance you need. Words already in your vocabulary remain available on Free. In the word popup, choose Learning for a word you want to practise. Use Learned when you already know it. Your saved words appear in Words, where you can search them and inspect their examples. If you want a word's source sentence saved for review, enable Save source sentence for reviews in Settings before saving it. Star a sentence when you want to keep the whole sentence.
Free includes review of words already in your vocabulary. Open Review. Try to recall the answer before revealing it, then grade yourself honestly with Right or Wrong. Rolko schedules the next review from your answers. An empty due queue can simply mean your next reviews are scheduled for later; it does not mean your saved words disappeared.
Read a little, save a few useful words, and complete the reviews that are due. Revisit the same text to notice what has become easier. You can find your vocabulary in Words and your learning history in Stats.
