Move back words to a blue stage

Unfortunatelly I’ve encountered the issue where a lot of words ware added to know/already seen, when going though lesson, despite the fact I had this option turned off.

I was clicking through the lesson. I don’t like those words loosing a blue background, I would like to keep a track of unknown words by them being blue and already learn(by repeating) to be not marked.

Is there a way to move back those words to a blue state?

LingQ doesn’t allow us to do that officially (and no one really knows why), but here’s a trick you can do:

Good luck!

PS: Please note that once you officially finish a lesson, all blue words will be moved to known, whether you want it or not. The only way to avoid it is to never mark lessons as finished.

Paging lessons automatically moves all remaining blue words on that page to known. We assume you have created LingQs for all unknown words before paging.

Automatic removal of blue words can be turned off in the Settings for the Reader. The “Move words to known” option is the one to turn off. However, this just means that when you click the complete Lesson option on the last page, all your blue words for the whole lesson will be moved to known. There is no reason to keep blue words. The idea is that you either need to learn them or they are known (or you can ignore words).

Having said that, you can click on all white words to make them blue again and create LingQs for them. So, if you are reading, and come across a word you incorrectly marked as known or ignored, just click on it to make it blue.

Finally, you can reset your language in your Language Settings - Login - LingQ

Hope this helps!
