I'm so frustrated by losing progress due to timeouts

If you rage quit when you make a typo you should really consider Double-Check plugin, it lets you tell it that you actually got it right after it marks it wrong! [Userscript]: Double-Check (Version 2.x)

I can’t because I do 100% of my reviews on my phone. Wk should just make it a feature already.

Thank you, Reorder Omega really did the trick for me! I ended up setting it up with “True Back-to-Back mode” which unlike “Shuffle incorrect” will make you redo both parts later on if you miss either one. They still tend to come back up pretty quickly, like in the next 10 cards, rather than getting randomly shuffled back into the entire deck (which I would prefer), but that’s okay.

I set it up as shown below, and between that and my ABP hack (which prevents the timeout overlay from ever popping up) I think I have a pretty good experience now, I can come and go at will. I also like how unlike Reorder Ultimate 2 it doesn’t insist on crowding the screen with extra UI - once I turn off the extra UI, it hides everything under the Settings icon.

With Flaming Durtles I often do words in small sets of like 5 which makes it easier to be interrupted and also easier to cancel and redo a set if you really need to. Might be a workable option for you. Agreed that it would be good if they’d make it an official feature though, they should really trust us to manage our own learning and not worry about “cheating”.

I believe some of the user made phone apps allow you to correct typos. I’m pretty sure Flaming Durtles can if you’re on android, though I think you need to turn it on in the options. I’ve never used any of the phone apps so I’m not certain which other ones allow it, but I’ve heard it talked about before, so I’m sure one exists for each type of device.

Appreciate the response and I’ve heard about flaming turtles before. I don’t like the app. Unless wk implements it on their website I’ll just have to accept it and be more careful with my reviews.

Thanks everyone.

I did consider making that an option as well, however that’s just not how Wanikani works (when you get an item incorrect it shuffles it into the active queue of 10 items), so I decided not to mess with that too much
