Ready for iPhone Duo. Open it and a category's words sit beside the word you're reading; fold it and the buttons move to the side. Folding or unfolding keeps your place, even halfway through a question.
The same side-by-side list and word come to iPad and to iPhone turned sideways, and practice shows the word beside its choices.
