How is that even possible on LV 13!? 😯  
I mean, it needs quite some time to get the wanted kanji, radicals or vocabulary to be BURNED.  
Something around 6 months or so. 🤔

I’m at 16 and don’t have a single one burned yet… The Crabigator is really mean 😂

They’re all radicals atm from lvl 1. My levelling speed has also been pretty inconsistent as I’ve just been using WK casually in my lunch breaks, the levels have reflectively gotten harder and harder to do as I continued, but apparently I’ve been here for 5.5 months.

However I’ve now established a routine thanks to the Ultimate WK guide, and level 12 only took me 9 days, so hopefully I can keep up this pace as I’m now consistently getting 95%+ on my reviews instead of 70%+

on average for me at my crab crawling rate, I start seeing burned items ~10 levels back. Probably longer for faster durtles and shorter for the tortoises.

Level doesn’t matter, just how long it’s been since you did your first lesson.

I see. Thank you for the many replies and explanations why I will not be able to burn something before New Year. 😄

But I think it doesn’t matter how many items you’ve burned or not as long as you keep learning!
