I’ve made a list of the kana only words haunting me in Anki. A lot of these I would get as part of a sentence but alone and out of context my brain just blanks on them…
Difficult kana words in Anki
つもり - intention
ほど - degree, extent
はず - should be, must be
こいつ - this (informal)
そんな - such (actions, ideas), like that, that sort of
より - than
そう - appearing that, seeming that
もらう - to receive
なる - to become
もう - now, soon, already, yet
くらい - approximately
しまう - to complete, to finish
せい - reason, cause
あれ - that (distant)
ちゃんと - sufficient, properly
まだ/また - not yet/again
かなり - considerably (I always think “particularly” which isn’t quite the same, but I also don’t know if the distinction translates to the Japanese word)
こちら - this (direction)
まるで - entirely, completely
こう - in this way, such
おかしい - strange, unusual (I’m prone to mix up any -しい without kanji)
どうせ - in any case, at any rate
どの - which
きっと - surely, most likely
せめて - at least
ただ - simply, merely
These are out of about 770 words currently in circulation so it’s not that bad on the whole, but it’s over half of the kana only words and my accuracy for young words in general is over 80% and for mature words is 90%, but for these it’s rather abysmal (though I don’t have a statistic ready). I’ve posted them here for the perusal of the curious and mainly so that I have a convenient place to do some extra study (with the spoiler feature).
