The ability to “skip” an item and go to the next. I often find myself unable to think of the correct answer to the kanji that is right in front of me, but if I had the opportunity to skip that kanji for now and come back to it later in the same session, I might get it right. However, since I cannot skip it, I get it wrong.

There was a script for this, but I haven’t gotten it working recently. You can give it a try though. Wanikani Later Crabigator:

What do you want now? (Request extensions here)

This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely. I don’t know of such a script, so I created one for you: WaniKani Later Crabigator It adds a button “Later” to the right of the input box, which allows you to push the current review item to the end of the queue. It will reappear within the last 10 reviews. It probably won’t work if you use other reordering sc…

You can chat with the scriptwriter as well, if you can’t get it working correctly, so see if there are any solutions.

But, you can also as you say fail any item temporarily. You don’t have to live with the results of that. Just keep on reviewing until you feel like you’ve done enough items - then close your tab or browser mid-session. that will reset the answers you’ve given for items you have not completed both answers for. So, you can get back to those items at a latter date.
