Looking up a Kanji in WK?

WaniKani Tips & Tricks

Is there an easy way to look up a Kanji on WK? When I want to go back and review and old Kanji I have to scroll through each level to try and find it. On an app like Takoboto they have a search which is great, but that’s no good to me because I want to see my WK flash card with the mnemonics and my saved notes etc. thanks for any advice!

Hopefully this helps. The search button in the top right corner (next to the profile icon) will open up a bar where you can search for kanji and terms. Here’s how it looks step by step.

Thank you so much. Why didn’t I think to try that?!

Surely you can see your notes in a mobile wk app too? If you mean the ones you saved into your wk account.

Smouldering Durtles on android certainly shows them.

There is a firefox extension for linking from any html page showing kanji to wk…
