…which is the whole point of this post. I’m asking if anyone knows of a script that will let me add more synonyms. If you’re not gonna be helpful then please leave.

How many times do I need to repeat myself? When it’s a long ass word like that, I’m not gonna waste time typing it exactly out, I’m gonna let my fingers type in the general direction of the word.
If I don’t have the word completely down then I won’t be able to type it the same way each time. And I’m not gonna waste like 12 seconds typing out those long ass, hard to spell words. I would just like to be able to add more synonyms.
Hm. Well, I highly doubt that anyone has made such a script or would bother to. But I wish you the best of luck in figuring something out.

Alright then what about instances where you confuse similar words, like sledge and sedge for example?
At that point, you’re probably better off just trying to simulate Anki in clicking show answer and saying if you were right or not. I think the Anki script can accomplish something similar.
Thank you for actually listening to my request and not derailing the conversation to be rude and make fun of me. If you hear of anything that could help please hit me up.

Sedge would already be accepted in place of Sledge, though.
Which actually relates to a post I made recently about a script that would let you add words that shouldn’t be accepted.
That’s not what I meant. I meant that fully typing out words makes sure you understand the actual meaning as opposed to getting something that sounds close but is actually wrong.
Although if you don’t feel like typing it all out, again, I think something like the Anki script or any other script to automatically mark the answer as correct might be more what you are looking for.

Actually, yeah, this is your ideal solution. What xyzbuster just said…the ignore script could work for you…or whatever it is called. Even if you get something wrong, you can mark it as correct. Then spelling misses will not matter.
I suck at spelling so I use the ignore script often. Funny enough wife learned how to spell some words from wanikani ha.
I’m not into Anki’s system. And this problem doesn’t really reply to me. If I can type something close to the answer, I’m gonna know what the answer is.
But you can’t mark it as correct, only ignore it. The item will still come up later in the same review.
Use the Double Check script then. It lets you do that.

I think this script has a function which keeps WaniKani’s format, but allows you to override something as correct
Edit: Darn it @seanblue you Leebo’d me.

Pfft! That guy’s a hack!
Go to the new thread created by @rfindley. At least he updates his scripts!

@Ethan,
You can edit the title of your thread to include “(obsolete)”, which may reduce the likelihood of people linking to it via the search bar (which I may or may not have accidentally done myself earlier 
)

Done, also made the link to your script a little more explicit

To clarify, I don’t think they are suggesting that you use Anki. They are recommending you install a user script that allows you to decide if your answer is right or wrong for yourself, like how Anki does it.
In Anki, you look at the flash card and think of the answer. Then flip it over to see if you got it right. Then mark if you remembered it or not, to allow the program to place it in the proper SRS category. It basically works on the honor system, instead of letting the computer decide if your spelling is too far off.
As other people have said, your other options include Ignore, Double-Check, and a few other user script variations. I don’t think anyone has made a way to expand synonyms because there are already better options available that don’t require as much work for the user. There are also user scripts available that allow you to mark an accepted answer as wrong if you remember a word incorrectly even if WaniKani accepts it as a typo.
Personally, I would suggest that you try slowing down a little and work on improving your spelling/typing skills eventually. Typos are a part of life, but there’s a point where it starts interfering with your ability to communicate clearly. And Japanese has some pretty long words, too.

My typing is pretty great, but I’m not gonna worry about getting every character correct. And Anki’s system is the exact opposite of what I want and of the purpose of Wanikani. Also, I would prefer a script where you didn’t have to click if it’s wrong, it would just let you add a list of words to not accept. If it marks it right, I’m not even going to look at the actual meaning, so that feature is useless.
