Imagine you are playing a fast game online. You need to say 'Got it!' very quickly. 'り' is like a super-short 'OK' for that.
This is like saying 'OK' or 'k' in English texts. It is much more casual than 'wakarimashita'. It is also more casual than 'ryokai'. Do not confuse it with 'otsu' which means 'good work'. Do not confuse it with 'ari' which means 'thanks'.
Don't use this when you are speaking. Don't use it in formal writing. This is only for very casual online chats with friends.
