I am sometimes mixing up kanji and related vocab :)

[MissMisc]

Welcome, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying WK ^^

This is addressed in the FAQ:

Kanji usually have at least two readings: the on’yomi reading and the kun’yomi reading. Both of them are correct, but we only want the one we taught to you as “the reading.” If you type the kun’yomi reading, but we asked for the other reading, the text box will wiggle and ask you for the on’yomi reading. You won’t be marked wrong, you’ll have a chance to try again. (Try to get it right the next time!)

Vocabulary can only have one correct reading (though there are exceptions). So if you see the purple vocabulary word 女 and type in じょ you will be marked wrong. No wiggle here. Because じょ is not the vocabulary word for a woman. That’s おんな and only おんな. It’s important that you pay close attention to what we’re asking for when you start learning, because that minimizes confusion and mistakes later.

So as you can see, the wiggle is okay when it’s a kanji (pink background), but wouldn’t work for when it’s functioning as a vocab item (purple background) – it can take a little time to get used to it, but taking an extra moment to confirm what WK is looking for during reviews can go a long way in preventing errors moving forward

There are also certain userscripts that can allow you to override incorrect responses and let you try again or mark it right (like the Override script or the Double-Check script), but it’s important to not abuse the scripts and to make sure you use it when you really did know the answer but made an error/typo

Let us know if you have any other questions, がんばって !
