Why do I level up (unlock level 3 in my case) without having finished level 2?
Thanks

Thereâs just one condition for leveling up. Itâs that you have gotten 90% of the current levelâs kanji to âguruâ status. If you do that, you level up. Itâs unrelated to how much vocab youâve completed, etc.
So, I guess the answer is that WaniKani considers â90% of kanji reach guruâ to be âfinished the level.â
I think itâs just that if it was much stricter than this, making progress would take a really long time for most users.
Think about it this way: you donât actually unlock level 3, you unlock new radicals, a limited set of Kanji and a very limited set of new Vocabulary for the next level.
Whenever you âfinishâ a level, youâre just actually finally ready to begin learning all of its Vocabulary, but if you were then stuck there until you didnât have anything else to learn, the next level would be pretty much empty outside of the new Kanji and Radicals, for at least 3 1/2 days.
WaniKani never gives you Kanji and Vocab for that Kanji all at once, it waits until youâve gotten familiar with that Kanji (Guru) and then lets you cement it with Vocab Words. Youâll notice that Vocabulary that comes with new Kanji is always for Kanji of the Previous levels.
Thanks for this, was about to report this as bug. Feeling pretty good now!
