After installing mazemaze, the first question learners ask is: "What percentage ratio should I pick? Should I mix phrases, sentences, or entire blocks?"

Calibrating difficulty is critical to prevent fatigue. Here is the recommended configuration matrix based on your goals and energy levels.

Your Proficiency Target Ratio (%) Granularity Unit Ideal Scenario
Beginner / Tired Evening 15% – 25% Phrase Relaxed browsing, low mental fatigue
Intermediate (Default) 30% – 40% Sentence Daily reading flow, optimal context balance
Advanced / Deep Focus 50% – 70% Block Near-native immersion with quick safety net

1. Beginners: 15% to 25% + Phrase Mode

If seeing entire foreign sentences feels intimidating, start with Phrase mode at around 20%. Short chunks and idioms appear seamlessly inside your native grammar, keeping cognitive load light.

2. Intermediates: 30% to 40% + Sentence Mode (Sweet Spot)

The default 30% Sentence mode is scientifically the most balanced. In a paragraph of three to four sentences, exactly one sentence is swapped. The rest of the paragraph provides bulletproof context.

3. Advanced: 50%+ with Quiz Mode Enabled

Turn on the Original Quiz feature in the popup. Hovering over a translated sentence presents a three-choice quiz to test your comprehension.
