Root words - UPCAT

hey, if you stumbled on this, i recommend using spaced repetition, setting "again" to 30 seconds, "hard" to 2 minutes, "good" to 15 minutes, and "easy" to 30 minutes. make sure to also set it to answer with definition, because answering with terms can get greasy since some terms overlap (for the same reason, learn function isn't great on this). also set the number of cards per day to 97 if you wanna see everything in one go. hope you find this useful!
