I gotchu fam (this is not an exhaustive list):
So. I used to be of the, “If you’re that far along, just make an Anki deck for the rest. You should be able to figure things out for yourself at that point” camp.
But here’s the thing: Anki doesn’t work like Wanikani does.
Wanikani has a very unique type of SRS. And it goes beyond its intervals and Apprentice/Guru/Etc system. It has a gated system that prevents you from going too far without conquering what you’ve learned so far to an acceptable level.
I think that system works particularly w…
So, I was playing around with WKstats the other day, and I noticed that there are like 200ish kanji that are part of the Joyo list but not taught by Wanikani. When would you guys recommend starting to learn those kanji, if at all?
Are there plans to add the missing Joyo/JLPT N1 Kanji to Wanikani?
Hi, I know I’m just at level 6 and I shouldn’t be thinking about JLPT N1 kanji yet, but I’ve found that there’s more than a hundred kanji in the Jōyō kanji list that WaniKani doesn’t teach, Are there any plans to get those Kanji into the app? If not does anybody have a workaround or Anki deck or something whith just those kanjis?
Of course I’ll not tray to lear those until Ifinished WaniKani (I hope next year), but just want to be sure.
Hi everybody!
I’ve created a list of the Jōyō Kanji that aren’t featured on WaniKani. I can’t guarantee that I didn’t make mistakes, as I created the list manually. It contains a total of 167 additional characters. I hope this will be of some use to those of you who have learned all the WaniKani Kanji!

Some of these characters…
I feel like it wouldn’t be too difficult to add a couple per level to the last 10 or so levels to cover the remaining number of N1 kanji not currently covered by WK. I feel like most users would be strongly in support of this.
I agree with what has been said previously: the JLPT/Jouyou lists are not that big of a deal, what matters is the kanji that you encounter in the things that you actually want to read.
The jouyou is realistically neither a subset nor a superset of the kanji you’ll want to know. Just yesterday I decided to learn 翡翠 which has two non-jouyou kanji, yet there are dozens of jouyou kanji I have yet to encounter anywhere.
WK adding ten more levels would mean that the course would teach you a bunch of stuff that, in all likelihood, you’ll have forgotten by the time you need it.
