When you level up in WaniKani, you unlock all the new radicals and about half of the kanji for that level, along with approximately 40-50 vocabulary words tied to previously learned kanji. At the same time, you’re also managing the vocabulary related to the last few kanji from the previous level as …

I do the opposite of @Remun :smiley: I clear all vocabulary (6 lessons a day at my level because it’s a lot of unknown words, but before level 40 it was 12 lessons a day) and also the radicals, then I finish with the kanji. That leads to level up after I have reached 0 lessons available. So as you…

I tried different approaches until I landed on this one: learn all the new radicals ASAP continue clearing previous level for 2-3 days learn new kanji day before the second half unlocks, continue with vocabulary if needed more lessons learn the new kanji as they unlock after radicals keep doing vo…

What I do is grab a single radical and/or a single kanji and then the rest of my lessons as vocab. But I’m going really slowly and if you want to go faster you’ll want to learn more than one kanji at a time.

I do all radicals first, the kanji 10/day-ish and then vocab up until my total lessons for that day are 20. If the workload is high, perhaps because of the amount of items still in progress from the previous level, then I may skip a day’s lessons

Personally I finish off all the old vocabs I’ve missed first, then radicals. After those are done, I go for 5 kanji and 10 vocab a day since the vocab will always be more than the kanji. However, I make sure to NEVER do more lessons if my “apprentice” level stuff is above 200, (currently somewhat …

The first day after levelling up, I pick a mix of new radicals and kanji, then just let wanikani give me whatever 15 lessons a day it wants. If the number of apprentice items is really low, sometimes I do an extra 5 items. This usually is enough to reach 0 lessons right as I finish a level so I’m …

My aim in the first 3-4 days is to do all the radicals, finish off the last bit of vocab from the previous level, complete all the vocab that unlocks at the start of the level and get a start on the kanji. I find if I can zero out the first three before the first kanji from the level starts to guru…

I only started WaniKani a couple of months ago and am only level 6 but i rush the radicals and kanji as soon as possible. Then i usually learn the vocab while waiting for radical and kanji reviews. I remember reading in a study once that people can best memorize up to 7-8 pieces of information, so …

I’ve been doing a 10 days per level schedule: Day 1: All the level’s radicals Days 2 & 3: 1/4 of the level’s kanji each day Day 4: 1/5 of the level’s vocab, usually part or all of what was unlocked at level start Days 5 & 6: 1/4 of the level’s kanji each day Days 7 - 10: 1/5 of the level’s voca…

I’ve been on a 7-10 day/level pace until now, and I ran into exactly the problem you mentioned early on (days without anything new to learn). To compensate for that I settled into a basic pattern on leveling up. It has to be said that I have several hours every day to dedicate to maintaining that …

I ran the experiment and it took just as long: I simply ran out of lessons earlier
