Thank goodness! And I’m in the US! Especially with WK using a bunch of ゆう = youth mnemonics…

Thank you for adding “counter for machines”! I was marked wrong for that very answer a couple days ago. May none suffer this injustice again :pray:

Glad to know the site is still updated, means there should still be a few more changes by the times i get 60. By the way, might as well ask here since it’s kind of in the subject, but does WK still add kanji/vocab regularly? I’ve heard not every JLPT1 kanji are here.

No, all of N1 isn’t, but there aren’t really more being added so much. There’s always the fake levels 61-70 though. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Wanikani allows for close spellings (so that users don’t get marked wrong for simple English typos) and so it accepted this for “insect” :joy: It was brought to my attention so I figured, why not blacklist it? lol

I guess if someone brought it up it makes sense. I just have a hard time believing anyone would actually think it means incest, haha

Good question! No, “life” is blacklisted for this word. “Live” in this context is referring to a live event, like a “live concert” etc.
