Repetition based on folder, not unique flashcard

Hello ! I looked at a list of 20 websites for language learning, 7 of which I signed up for for free but I didn’t find what will be useful: flashcards with a different fill-in-the-blank sentence each time.

So I wanted to create that myself, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it efficiently. Here’s what I imagined ideally:

  • I create folders, each folder containing many flashcards that practice the same rule
  • I would like Anki to show me only 1 card from each folder.
  • Whether I answer correctly or not, the next time I was shown a card, it will be a different card from the same folder.

Anki’s general principle is to present the same card regularly until it is memorized. But when it comes to grammar rules, it’s better to have different fill-in-the-blank sentences; otherwise, you end up recognizing the sentence and remembering the answer word instead of having to think about the rule.
And when a card is presented, you shouldn’t know which folder it comes from, otherwise you’ll know which rule to apply.

Yesterday I spent all day on websites but every time they talk about repetition, it’s for vocabulary or basic phrases to memorize.
However, perhaps I missed something: maybe you know of an app that presents English language rules in the form of short questions presented regularly, with at least five practice sentences per rule?

This can already be done (although not recommended):
