This deck was modified when it was brought in: Extracted from Wiktionary through kaikki.org and rearranged by Memoquiz. (1) Selection: only single-word dictionary headwords of three to twenty letters are kept; every sense marked as an inflected form, an alternative spelling, an abbreviation, an archaism, slang or a familiar register is dropped, and an entry whose first sense falls to those filters is dropped whole rather than shown through a secondary sense; a headword listed under several etymologies is read once, on its first entry only. A headword that the same edition also describes as an adjective, an adverb, a pronoun, a determiner or a numeral is dropped too: it is not unambiguous noun vocabulary. (2) Definitions: only short ones made of letters, spaces, commas, apostrophes and hyphens are kept — brackets, colons and semicolons mark a definition that does not read on its own on the back of a card. The closing full stop is removed; nothing else is touched, and no definition is rewritten. (3) Circular cards removed: a definition that repeats the Italian headword, accents and case ignored, teaches nothing and is dropped; and so is a headword that is itself a common noun in the reader’s own language — pie in English, time in Brazilian Portuguese — because such a card is a trap rather than a question. This filter is mechanical and its reach is narrow: it does not see two near-synonyms that end up with the same answer, and it does not see a headword whose spelling is also a form of a very common verb, since it only looks at part of speech. Those cases were caught, when caught at all, by the review below. (4) Order: the headwords retained are the most frequent in the Tatoeba corpus of the same language, counted only where a determiner precedes them so that the noun is measured and not the spelling it shares with a verb; Wiktionary itself carries no frequency. (5) Review: an adverse review on 5 August 2026 read the pack card by card and removed nineteen cards outright. Nothing was rewritten: a definition we cannot show the source for is dropped, never corrected. The removals fall into five groups — a first Wiktionary sense that is not the everyday meaning of the word, or that leaves the everyday meaning out (macchina, porta, storia, terra, riso, pena, presidente, relazione, insalata); a gloss left in raw dictionary form, in a familiar register, or reading as the wrong English word (negozio, zona, cambiamento, tizio, spettacolo); an answer that simply repeated another card’s (giornata after giorno, serata after sera); a headword whose spelling is also a form of a very common verb (amo, potere); and a proper noun carrying the wrong case (corano). (6) What this pack is not: the remaining cards have not been checked one by one against a second dictionary. They are Wiktionary first senses, filtered and ordered — not a curated bilingual lexicon, and a card may still give a narrower sense than daily Italian would.
