How to review saved phrases and words in Favorites

Playphrase.me editorial

A useful phrase can get buried in search results. In Playphrase.me, save it with the star to a chosen Favorites collection. Open that collection later to return to the searches, phrases, and words you deliberately kept instead of trying to reconstruct the original query.

Choose the collection before saving

Open Favorites and select the collection where you want new entries to go. Then return to Search, Common Phrases, or Vocabulary. The selection stays active, so the next star saves the entry to that collection.

What the star saves depends on the section. In regular Search, it saves the current search. In Common Phrases, each star belongs to a phrase; in Vocabulary, it belongs to a word.

Review what you saved

When you want to revisit an entry, open Favorites and choose its collection. This is a list of items you saved yourself, not random entries from the catalog. Start with the first and review them one at a time.

Play/Pause controls playback, Repeat plays the current entry again, and Next opens the next one.

Review one page with Random Favorite

On desktop, open Favorites and select the collection you want to review. Press Alt+Shift+Space. The Random Favorite command takes the next unused entry from the collection page currently open, loads its saved query in Search & Learn, and turns on Focused playback, so the matching phrase plays with minimal surrounding context.

The built-in Random Favorite hint shows the current desktop shortcut.

Press Alt+Shift+Space again to get another unused entry from the same page.

After every entry on the page has been used, Playphrase.me offers to replay that page or continue to the next page of the collection.

Shuffle is a separate control. It changes the order of the selected collection and keeps that order across pages. Random Favorite does not reorder the list; it opens one saved query at a time in Search & Learn.
