In my opinion, the best strategy to remembers the words to join the words with action either story or reality.it can be by match using visual media and practice with a native speakers.
Practicing is the best way to learn and remember for a long time lasting. Usually, I write them on a piece of card and make many glances at them during the day.
There are several mnemonics to remember words. I'll describe a few -
1. Peg word system in which we form a mental picture of items associated with the word and asign a number to it (if we need to remember a list of words)
2. Elaborative rehearsal in which the words are processed in terms of their meaning. An attempt is made to associate the meaning of the word with already existing knowledge in our brain.

A mnemonic, also known as a memory aid, is a tool that helps you remember an idea or phrase with a pattern of letters, numbers, or relatable associations. Mnemonic devices include special rhymes and poems, acronyms, images, songs, outlines, and other tools. Mnemonic (pronounced ni-mon-ik) is derived from the Greek phrase mimnēskesthai meaning to “remember.”
II. Examples of Mnemonics
Example 1
PEMDAS – Please excuse my dear Aunt Susie.
PEMDAS is a common mnemonic for remembering order of operations in pre-algebra meaning: Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, adding, and subtraction.

Example 2
EADGBE – Elephants and Donkeys Grow Big Ears
This mnemonic is useful for remembering the strings of a guitar in proper order from left to right.
Example 3
I before e except after c
This phrase is a mnemonic which reminds spellers that typically the letter i comes before e and after c. For example, the words “lie,” “belief,” and “pie” all have i before e. Words like “deceive” and “ceiling,” on the other hand, have e before i, following the letter c.
III. Types of Mnemonics
Types of mnemonics range from simple catchphrases to the creation of abbreviations and phrases. Here are a few types of mnemonics commonly used:
a. Connection Mnemonics
Connection mnemonics are used when one can make a connection between something already known and the new thing to memorize. For example, imagine you meet a new boy named Brian who has a bowl cut. You can remember his name by saying Bowl Cut Brian in your head—the connection of his haircut with his name and the “B” alliteration is a helpful memory aid!
b. Image / Model Mnemonics
Sometimes, actual images and models are useful for visual learners, or learners who memorize well with graphs, charts, pictures, and similar devices. For example, parts of a plot are often memorized more easily when arranged on a pyramid shape:

c. Music Mnemonics
This type of mnemonic is self-explanatory: many of us simply remember better when music goes along with the phrase or concept we are learning. A simple example of this is using the “ABC” song to learn the alphabet.
d. Name Mnemonics
With this type of mnemonics, the first letters of the words within a phrase are used to form a name. Memorization of the name allows for memorization of the associated idea. For example, Roy G. Biv is a name used to remember the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
e. Name of Expression Mnemonics
In this common type of mnemonic, the first letter of each word in the phrase is used to create new words with a memorable phrase. One example of this is the 7 coordinating conjunctions For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So which create FANBOY.
f. Note Organization / Outline Mnemonics
One simple way of remembering things better is simply organizing information. Ways of organization include creating notecards to practice studying terms and definitions and to create outlines of one’s notes. For example, see this outline of plot:
1.Exposition
Definition:
Example:
2.Rising action
Definition:
Example:
3.Climax
Definition:
Example:
4.Falling action

Example:
5.Denouement

g. Spelling Mnemonics
Spelling mnemonics are rules, patterns, or phrases used to remember certain difficult spellings. Here are a few common examples:
Never believe a lie.
There’s a rat in separate.
Because: Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants
IV. The Importance of Using Mnemonics
Mnemonics are cheat codes for those who struggle with memorizing a certain complicated subject, list, or concept. They allow us to use more memorable phrases that tie the concepts we want to memorize to our minds. They allow us to quickly and successfully learn, and remember key concepts in a variety of subjects from English to math. They work because our minds tend to remember information to which we can relate or experience.
Mnemonics have been proven to work as tools of memory-forming for a variety of tasks. They aid doctors, scientists, geologists, artists, and students. If you’re struggling to remember something, consider making yourself a mnemonic.
V. Examples of Mnemonics in Literature
Just as mnemonics are used in other subjects, they are often found in literary studies. Here are a few examples of literary mnemonics:
Example 1
Wherever there is a Q there is a U too.
This literary mnemonic reminds us with rhyme that Q’s are followed by U’s in spelling.
Example 2
We hear with our ear.
If you can spell “ear,” you can spell “hear” correctly, rather than “here.”
Example 3
Rhythm helps your two hips move.
This phrase helps the struggling speller: each first letter of the phrase spells out “rhythm.”
VI. Examples of Mnemonics in Pop Culture
Mnemonics can use pop culture references to help you memorize complicated lists or even facts about pop culture! Here are a few pop cultural examples of mnemonics:
Example 1
How to punish bad Daleks before many million earthlings truly see c
For those who are Who-obsessed, the actors who have played the doctor in the show “Dr. Who” can be remembered in chronological order with this phrase.
This mnemonic uses pop culture to help children remember steps to complete division problems: divide, multiply, subtract, compare, and bring down.
VII. Related terms
Acronyms
Acronyms refer to words formed from abbreviations of certain phrases. For example, NASA is an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Acronyms are often used as mnemonic devices. For example, the acronym HOMES can be used to remember the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.
A mnemonic is an instructional strategy designed to help students improve their memory of important information. This technique connects new learning to prior knowledge through the use of visual and/or acoustic cues. The basic types of mnemonic strategies rely on the use of key words, rhyming words, or acronyms.
I really don't think that you need a very serious strategy for the topic mentioned in the question. Repeated exercising of the related muscles would easily help. I shall give you an example. Suppose, I give a long number to a person like 12345678900987654321. It is not that easy to remember this number. But repeatedly trying to remember the number from time to time would be beneficial in this case. I mean, that's what I applied in my life and got benefited.
Words, words, words…so many to learn and it’s so hard to remember them all. There are seven tips that should make learning & remembering new vocabulary easier, faster, more fun, and more effective and these include:
1. Make word association webs – our brain takes what we read and makes it into images, ideas, and feelings, etc., and then makes connections between what we knew before and the new information (words and ideas). This is how we remember things.
2. Remember in Chunks (collocations) – Remembering the word is important but English, like Chinese, is a language and languages are NOT just facts to be remembered – they are tools for people to USE to express their ideas and communicate.
3. Use pictures – Draw small pictures that show the meaning of the word if you can.
4. Tell a tall story – I always hear my students say that there are too many new words to remember.
5. Recycle the pieces – Use roots, prefixes, and suffixes to guess what a word means.
6. Think & learn in opposites – Learn words with opposite meanings (antonyms) and words with similar meanings (synonyms) together.
7. Timing is everything – According to psychologists who study how we remember anything, there is a better way to learn things quickly and permanently. Use the new word immediately.
Here are some tips to help you remember vocabulary:
Keep an organized vocabulary notebook.
Look at the words again after 24 hours, after one week, and after one month.
Read, read, read. The more times you ‘see’ a word the more easily you will remember it.
Use new words. You need to use a new word about ten times before you remember it!
Do word puzzles and games like crosswords, anagrams, and word searches.
Make word cards and take them with you. Read them on the bus or when you are waiting for your friends.
Learn words with a friend. It can be more fun and easier to learn with someone else.
Learn how to use a dictionary. What information is next to a word in the dictionary? Do you know the different types of dictionaries?
Learn a few words but not too many. About eight new words a day is a good number. https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/exams/grammar-and-vocabulary-exams/tips-remember-words
Acronyms are one of the most popular and widely used mnemonic strategies. Using this method, students memorize a single word in which each letter is associated with an important piece of information. This letter-association strategy is especially useful for remembering short lists of items or steps.

The three principles above have been developed into a number of specific memory techniques. They can be divided into three main categories:
1. Image clues: these are memory tools in which ideas are represented by pictures.
Just like logos or icons, image clues can trigger your brain to think about complex ideas.
Memorable, multi-sensory images are associated with others in pairs or sequences, or arranged in your "mind's eye" around familiar places.
Specific systems have been developed to "peg" new information onto ready-made images.
2. Storytelling strategies: these are tools that capitalize on the fact that well-told stories are automatically memorable.
Storytelling strategies allow you to link individual image clues into long chains, in order to remember lists, processes, and all the points you want to make in essays or presentations.
You can get an extra memory boost by choosing a setting that relates to your subject matter.
3. Spatial systems: these are tools that let you use all the real-world journeys you know to store new information. These journeys might include your route from home to work, or a favorite countryside walk.
You also know your way around many different buildings, and you can imagine their layouts with ease.
Spatial systems allow you to associate key images with particular places, or to visualize them positioned around familiar routes in your mind. When the time comes to recall some information, you can go back in your imagination and "find" the images you left behind – helping you to retrieve important details quickly and accurately.
Start experimenting with some of these mnemonic principles and you'll discover that you can quickly become much more confident about your memory!
Mnemonic strategies as described in this article are not the only way of improving memory in students who exhibit difficulty remembering things. It is important that you consider all possible methods for improving memory and not assume that mnemonic strategies are your only option. In other publications (Mastropieri & Scruggs, 1993; Mastropieri & Scruggs, in press), we have described more general methods for improving memory. These include the following:
Increase Attention.Students will not remember something that they did not pay attention to in the first place. Be sure your students' memory problems are not really attention problems. Use strategies for enhancing attention, such as intensifying instruction, teaching enthusiastically, using more visual aids and activities, and reinforcing attending.
Promote External Memory.Many things that need to be remembered can be written down, a practice known as "external memory." Practices such as keeping an assignment notebook and maintaining a student calendar can be helpful in remembering to do things. Unfortunately, external memory is usually of little use (ethically, anyway) on tests.
Enhance Meaningfulness.Find ways to relate the content being discussed to the student's prior knowledge. Draw parallels to the students' own lives. Bring in concrete, meaningful examples for students to explore so the content becomes more a part of their experience.
Use Pictures.Pictures can provide a memory advantage. Use pictures on the chalkboard or on the overhead projector. Bring in photographs or other illustrations. Show concrete images on videotape, when appropriate. If pictures are simply unavailable, ask students to create images, or " pictures in their heads."
Minimize Interference.Avoid digressions and emphasize only the critical features of a new topic. Make sure all examples relate directly to the content being covered.
Promote Active Manipulation.Students remember content better when they experience it for themselves (Scruggs, Mastropieri, Bakken, & Brigham, 1993). For example, rather than lecturing the class on the effect of weak acid (such as vinegar) on calcite, allow students to place calcite in a glass of vinegar and see for themselves.
Promote Active Reasoning. Students remember better if they actively think through new information, rather than simply repeating it. For example, rather than simply telling students that penguins carry their eggs on the tops of their feet, ask students why it makes sense that penguins would carry their eggs on the tops of their feet.
Increase the Amount of Practice. Students remember information better if they have practice using it more frequently. Use lots of review in your teaching; do not simply finish one topic and then never mention it again. Remind the class, and have students practice previous information frequently.
All these strategies can be used to improve memory, and all should be considered. Unfortunately, none of these strategies specifically targets recall of information contained in new or unfamiliar words, and this is the aspect of memory where students most often fail. For example, in the Scruggs, Mastropieri, Bakken, and Brigham (1993) investigation, students who engaged in active manipulation remembered more information about electricity and rocks and minerals than students who studied from textbooks. However, neither condition improved recall of critical vocabulary or terminology, the area where mnemonic strategies are most effective. In the following section, we describe several different types of mnemonic strategies that can be used to improve students' memory.
