Raku says the word 7 times in a row to lock it into memory.

Backed by spaced repetition research — hearing a word 7 times consecutively dramatically improves recall. Raku stomps along with each repetition.

Great for passive listening. Put the phone down, let the whole list cycle, and absorb the sounds while you do something else.
