My mistakes aren’t memory mistakes — I keep typing the meaning for the reading and the reading for the meaning, because there’s no visual difference, and my brain just continues whatever the last question was. It’s unfortunate that what’s keeping me back has nothing to do with memory or learning. I …

There are actually a few visual differences. For instance, the color of the bar above the input area is black or white depending on whether it’s a meaning or reading question. Additionally the input area’s background text is in English for the meaning side and in Japanese for the reading side. But …

The color of the input area is black or white depending on whether it’s a meaning or reading question. Brilliant! That’s all I was looking for. Now that I know it, I’ll see it… for people who think visually, it’s a really important thing. I guess, if you gave one “hey look at this” hint about that i…

That black and white bar isn’t enough for me. I still have to backspace out half of my answers and start over. What actually works is once I get mad after too many of those, I start reading that line FIRST, before I even look at the item it’s showing me. Every time I advance to the next item, I put…

This is also what happens to me all the time. My brain doesn’t connet the color difference with what to do. That is why I use the Override script and its beautiful lol ( [OBSOLETE] Wanikani Override ("ignore answer button") ) That being said, I don’t recommend using it if you’re likely to cheat your…

Just a small comment, but the double check script is much better than the override one. [image] [Userscript]: Double-Check (Version 2.x) API And Third-Party Apps Wanikani Double-Check A multi-feature companion script for Wanikani reviews. (Credit to Ethan for …

Oh, thank you! I’ll check this out!

This used to happen to me all the time and I found it very frustrating. Now I use Reorder Ultimate 2 on the web and Tsurukame on iOS to force reading then meaning ordering with back-to-back (or 1x1) mode. This makes it more predictable and consistent across devices too. @konekush thanks for pointin…

OK - I think there’s an obvious solution to this. When you type the on’yomi and they wanted the kun’yomi reading, the screen says “we want the other reading”… so, can Wanikani do the same in our situation? When you’ve obviously written the correct meaning instead of the correct reading, can’t the sc…

There’s nothing stopping them from doing that from a programming perspective. I assume it’s just a matter of how they want to handle answers. When you answer with the “other reading” on a kanji item, you gave a correct answer. They just want you to also answer with the other one before moving on. F…

There’s two ways to look at that I suppose. I think giving the meaning “horse” when the meaning should be “power” is a wrong answer. Giving the reading “chikara” when the answer should be the meaning “power” isn’t a learning mistake, it’s just a confusion of the question. Wanikani’s purpose isn’t to…
