Common Word Tag Script

[Daru]

I understand WaniKani is not meant to teach you day to day vocabulary, but sometimes I can’t help but wonder if some of the vocab words are commonly used words or not.

Thanks in advance!

I think you mean this one?

Uses Jisho.org to indicate whether a vocabulary word is considered “common” or not. [36 PM] Adds the word “Common” or “Uncommon” to the top right corner depending on whether Jisho.org dubs the vocabulary word as such. Uses: WaniKani uses vocabulary to help solidify the different pronunciations for the individual Kanji, however some of the vocab used to teach these pronunciations are out of date and are not used in day to day life in Japan anymore. I have encountered this problem when spe…

Erm, well… that’s called Copy & Paste

And yes, that’s the one I was referring to, thanks for finding it!
