直 is pronounced zhí and means “recto”. HSK 5 places it in the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the standardised measure of Chinese proficiency. There is a real difference between having seen 直 and being able to use it, and cramming a list flatters the first while doing little for the second. LexiTrail shows you the word again at the point your recall of it is about to lapse.
