Frequently Asked Questions
How many flashcards can I put in a live deck?
Ten on the free tier, which is enough for a warm-up or a spelling list, and up to 100 with a $2.99 day pass or a Plus plan. The cap is on making the deck, not playing it — once a deck is published, everyone who opens the link plays every card in it, free, forever, even after a day pass expires.
What is the difference between practice mode and game mode?
Practice mode flips through the cards freely in both directions and scores nothing — it is the mode you revise in. Game mode makes you answer each card before it flips, either by choosing from four options or by typing, then times the run and gives you a score you can share. Both modes are on every deck, and the player picks between them.
Do students need an account to play?
No. A deck lives at its own public link and plays in any browser — Chromebook, tablet, phone. There is no sign-in, no app and no student data collected, so there is nothing for a district to review. Only the person making the deck needs an account, and only if they want to edit it later.
How do I share a deck with my class?
Every published deck gets a permanent link, a downloadable QR code you can put on a slide or a wall, and an email-it-to-me option. Drop the link in Google Classroom, or project the QR and let the room scan it.
Can I see how many times my deck has been played?
Yes. Each deck page carries a play count, and published decks appear in the PuzzlePage Community where they can be browsed and sorted by plays just like a puzzle.
Is a flashcard deck the same as the printable flash card maker?
They share a format but do different jobs. The printable flash card maker lays your terms out 2 to 9 per page with correctly mirrored backs for double-sided printing, and it is free for up to 240 cards. This maker turns the same term-and-definition list into a live deck people play in a browser. You can use both on the same list.
What separates the term from the definition when I paste a list?
An equals sign, a tab, a colon, or a spaced dash — so "Photosynthesis = how plants make food" works, and so does a two-column paste from a spreadsheet. A line with no separator has no answer to check, so it is skipped rather than published as an unanswerable card.
