Built for retention
Spaced repetition for Biblical Greek, built for Greek
Kanon Greek runs a modern spaced-repetition engine (FSRS) over the full New Testament vocabulary, scheduling each word to the edge of forgetting. It’s the retention of Anki without the setup, the ugly decks, or the guilt — wrapped in daily games.
What spaced repetition does for Greek vocab
It replaces cramming with timing: each word returns just before you’d forget it, so a semester of effort turns into lasting recall instead of a fade by summer.
Why FSRS
FSRS is a modern scheduling algorithm that predicts your forgetting more accurately than the older SM-2, which can mean fewer reviews for the same retention — so your ten minutes go further.
Built for Greek, not generic flashcards
Words are learned by frequency band, met inside real verses, and graded as Greek, with parsing in mind — not the lowest-common-denominator matching of a generic deck.
Why not just Anki?
Anki works, but you assemble decks, stare at bare cards, and never read. Kanon Greek gives you the same engine with reading, paradigm drills, and a daily game loop, ready out of the box.
