I have see lots of advice on reddit, here and anki’s own forums about to formulate anki cards and use anki in general. Too much in fact. Sometimes its even contradictory. In the end I use some of it but ignored most. Alot of this has to do with the fact that the advice depends on the type of card and on you. If the card is just one word to another to automatize foreign language vocabulary you will want brevity speed fluency and more of these cards per day. If its cloze deletion to memorize a poem / notes card can not be brief and speed is not so important. If its a test like understanding a sentence of a foreign language then it wont go back into review and I do many of these cards irregardless of the count of new cards. I also suspect it depends on the user though I have not really had enough data to give examples. To further all of this including finding the right advice for each person, I have written some part of an analysis of anki data. Unfortunately not many people seem to care so I stopped. Please run this R notebook on your data.
