How It Works

The game uses a weighted card selection system. When you get a card wrong, its weight increases so it shows up more often. As you demonstrate mastery of Tier 1 species (the most common ones like American Robin, Blue Jay, and Eastern Grey Squirrel), harder tiers are gradually unlocked.
