A rich vocabulary plays an important role here, so you may want to use a thesaurus or develop your vocabulary. [...] [...] Play freely with the problem statement, rewording it several times.

Would love to add another one to the list. ;) Building your vocabulary visually is an often overlooked manner of learning and retaining vocabulary. Visual connections with words enhance both the understanding as well as retentivity. Would love to have you visit us @ http://www.weboword.com and know more about your thoughts on our concept. Additionally, we extend a warm welcome to students and English learners across the globe to create their own visual vocab and share it with us @ http://weboword.ning.com Wonderful strategies.

Among the many columns (such as word, definition, date, example sentence) I have one that indicates if I already used that word in a real situation. Using this set up, it's very easy to filter out the already used words. Hope this helps! I use a spreadsheet to keep my vocabulary.

The reason: it is very boring. Maybe trying to use new words is a better approach. Maybe you can keep new words in a document and then every day try to use them in some way. Once used they can be removed from the document. Does anyone else have similar experiences? Lately I have not used mnemosyne as much as I think I should. The reason: it is very boring.

I use mnemosyne (http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org) as my personal word database. It is a flashcard program. After reading this article I think I might try to add sentences to words that I find difficult. A very inspirational article.
