一文字 word in WK

[WeebPotato]

@yamitenshi

You don’t necessarily learn the most useful/common vocab early on, and you don’t learn kana-only words at all, with the exception of some that are very uncommonly written in kanji (like 丁度 and 玉に)

Or 何故

一文字 comes up from time to time on our forums here. I think someone else mentioned it earlier this year.

Found it: My wife seems to be skeptical of the usefulness regarding some of the vocab on Wanikani

We already had the 河豚 incident and before that the 里心 incident, which I did not witness personally.

@movehome

Is this word ever really used? It’s a level 4 word but as far as I can tell it’s uncommon. Wondering why it’s in WK

WaniKani prioritizes kanji readings over vocab and overall usefulness, something we have to get used to . However, to kind of reiterate the take-home from the 河豚 incident, it’s worth knowing a word, because there is a chance we’ll come across it eventually.
