There are words I remember very well and others that I never get right. Now it is unnecessary to require three consecutive right answers for the words that I remember easily. I would appreciate an option "if you don't get the word right on the first attempt, then you have to give three consecutive right answers".

Reproducible: Didn't try

Very good idea.

We are thinking of doing rather the opposite, but which will have the same end result: To have not two buttons ("I knew it" and "I didn't know it") but rather 3: "I didn't know it", "I knew it" and "I knew it well".  The "I knew it well" button would add 2 levels to the card rather than one so you will get rid of the ones you know really well much faster - leaving the ones you need to practice more in the limelight so to speak.

After some lengthy discussion we have come to the conclusion that this is not the optimal solution to the problem of learning something well.

The solution that is currently used is the introduction of "initial stage" learning which is used for new words. During this stage you have shorter interval between the repetitions.
