While using cards I found that displaying last cards would accelerate memorizing, cuz that would boost the frequency of recall and putting them together can help better distinguish the differences. It would be great to display last n cards (previous answered cards) while learning, clickable and being able to jump back and forth would be better.
2th edit: If I try to memorize AxxB and AxxxB, displaying them altogether would definitely help. Showing the progress of recitation also reduces the sense of anxiety when memorizing words and the urge to click on the next card.

That’s interesting.
The “last n cards” should be the next n or the previous anwsered n cards?
Another take could be, has the post you’re pointing to was asking, to display a grid of questions answerable in a custom order.
It would be cool to have also an option to skip the current card, since maybe depends on another one that we know is inside the current review queue, or in the case more context could improve the chance of answering it correctly.
Btw, the full url of the post you’re pointing to I think is Any way to review multiple cards at once
You’re allowed to want what you want, but how would having additional cards displayed on the screen at the same time “accelerate memorizing”? That seems like it would be a distraction from the current card more than anything. A person can really only read, answer, and grade one card at a time.
If you want to see a card more times to memorize it – you can get more reps with more learning/relearning steps. But your cards should be independent from each other, because that’s how they will be scheduled going forward. If you need to see another card to answer this card correctly – that’s usually a card-design issue.

I can’t tell what you mean by that. Are those standing in for lists of things? Similar words that differ by a letter?
Again, it’s okay for you to just want it this way, and you don’t have to convince me. I’m just following my instinct to help folks work with the features that currently exist. If you want help adapting to that, there might be things you can do.
