How do I make flashcards and quiz myself online?

Open AnyTool Flashcard Quiz, build a deck by typing term and definition pairs (one per line as “term : definition”, a tab, a dash, “=”, or Q:/A: blocks) or by importing a CSV or JSON file. Then study with a 3-D flip card, take an auto-generated multiple-choice quiz, or type the answer and have it graded fuzzily so a small typo still counts. Leitner spaced repetition brings the cards you miss back sooner. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.

  • Flexible deck input: colon, dash, tab, “=” or Q:/A: blocks, plus CSV paste
  • Three modes: flip-card study, multiple choice and type-the-answer
  • Fuzzy grading so minor typos still count as correct
  • Leitner spaced repetition with five boxes and a mastery bar
  • Multiple decks, reverse mode, shuffle and CSV/JSON import-export — 100% client-side

What is

Flashcard Quiz

A flashcard quiz tool lets you create decks of question-and-answer cards and review them through flip cards, multiple-choice questions and typed answers, usually with a spaced-repetition schedule such as the Leitner system that repeats the cards you get wrong more often so you remember them for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Decks are created, studied and saved entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded and the tool works offline.

All deck building, quizzing and scoring run locally in JavaScript. Your decks and study progress are stored only in your browser via localStorage, there is no account or tracking, and the page works offline after the first load. You can export a deck as CSV or JSON to back it up or move it, and delete everything at any time.

It sorts cards into boxes; a correct answer promotes a card to a higher box you see less often, while a wrong answer sends it back to box one to review sooner.

The Leitner system is a spaced-repetition method that groups flashcards into numbered boxes. In AnyTool Flashcard Quiz every card starts in box one, a correct answer moves it up one box toward box five (mastered), and a wrong answer drops it back to box one. Cards in lower boxes are shown first and more often, so the material you struggle with gets the most practice.

Answers are normalised and compared with fuzzy matching, so a small typo or a missing article is accepted, and you can override the grade if needed.

When you type an answer the tool lower-cases it, strips accents, ignores leading articles like “a” and “the” and removes punctuation, then compares it to the expected answer using Levenshtein similarity. An exact match is correct, a very close match is counted as correct, and anything else is marked wrong while showing the expected answer. An expected answer can also list several acceptable values, and you can always mark a graded answer as correct.

Yes. You can import a two-column CSV (term, definition) or a JSON deck, and paste term/definition lists in several formats.

The tool imports CSV files with a term and definition column (a header row is detected automatically) and JSON decks exported from this tool, and tolerates common key names like front/back and question/answer. You can also paste many cards at once using colons, tabs, dashes, equals signs or Q:/A: blocks, then export any deck back to CSV or JSON for backup or sharing.

Detailed Explanation

Methodology

How the Flashcard Quiz Works

AnyTool Flashcard Quiz builds and reviews decks entirely in the browser. A deck is created by parsing term and definition pairs from text — colon, dash, tab, equals or Q:/A: blocks are auto-detected — or by importing a two-column CSV or a JSON export. Cards can then be reviewed in three ways: a 3-D flip card you self-grade, an auto-generated multiple-choice question whose distractors are drawn from other cards in the deck, and a type-the-answer prompt graded by fuzzy string matching. A reverse mode swaps the prompt and answer sides.

  • Flexible parser: colon, spaced dash, tab, equals and Q:/A: formats
  • Multiple-choice distractors come from other cards in the same deck
  • Type-the-answer grading uses normalised Levenshtein similarity
  • Reverse mode quizzes definition to term
  • All deck building and scoring is client-side JavaScript — no server
How It Works

Leitner Spaced Repetition

Review scheduling uses the Leitner system, a spaced-repetition method with five boxes. Every card starts in box one; a correct answer promotes it one box toward box five (mastered) and a wrong answer demotes it back to box one so it is reviewed again sooner. Sessions order cards by box priority, showing the least-mastered and least-recently-seen cards first, and an overall mastery percentage plus a per-box breakdown show exactly what to study next.

  • Five Leitner boxes from new (1) to mastered (5)
  • Correct answers promote a card; a miss resets it to box one
  • Sessions prioritise lower boxes and least-recently-seen cards
  • Mastery percentage is a weighted average of box levels
  • Per-card correct/wrong counts and box are tracked locally
Privacy & Security

Privacy, Storage and Portability

Because every feature runs in the browser, decks and study progress never reach a server, there is no account or tracking, and the page works offline after first load. Multiple decks can be created, renamed, switched and deleted, and each is saved automatically to local storage. Any deck can be exported as CSV or JSON for backup or sharing and re-imported later, keeping the data fully under the learner’s control.
