Ability to see and reset level of words and phrases
I'm pleased to announce that you can now see the level that any word or phrase has reached and you can also reset that level.
You may know from FAQ about levels for the words and phrases that as you get to know words and phrases better (as shown by getting questions right) they are moved to higher and higher levels, and so are gradually asked less and less frequently.
Using "Auto Breakdown"
Auto Breakdown is a feature which allows you to more easily add a complete literal breakdown for a word or phrase.
Before using this feature, it is important that you are fully skilled at doing the Literal Breakdown manually, so that you can check everything is correct.

Play Slow and Play All buttons

Kickstarter campaign failed...but the Lingopolo vision goes on!
The Lingopolo campaign on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter has now finished. Unfortunately, it did not get anywhere near reaching the funding goal I set for it.

Difficult spelling breakdowns
Auto Breakdown should be able to add the spelling breakdown to words. In some languages, such as Thai, this is not quite so simple.
Take, for example the Thai word:
สนาม

When we first run the Auto Breakdown, we get an error that the 3rd character in this word is not found:
