General vent session: It is the most frustrating thing when I feel like I have finally mastered the vocabulary and kanji that I’m working on to have my progress slowed because I didn’t realize it was asking for the reading and I type out the meaning or vice-versa. I know this is a super first-world …

Even if you’re going through reviews quickly, it should be pretty obvious when your text is appearing in English (meaning) vs. kana (reading), yeah?

This script allows you to redo answers, so that you don’t unnecessarily downgrade review items. Be careful though, and be critical of what you accept as correct. [image] [Userscript]: Double-Check (Version 2.x) API And Third-Party Apps Wanikani Double-Check A…

This script saves me daily. (I think I might have ADHD too)

A lot of times, especially when I’m really sure of my response, I hit enter before I’ve registered what is showing up on the screen. Again, I know I should slow down. I’ve just been really grateful for the pro…

@Belthazar makes a really useful point. Give it another few levels, and you’ll start to unconsciously associate the background/text colour with what you’re being asked. In the early levels, I kept having the exact same problem as you, but it mostly went away once that background colour sank in.

I do type readings in for meanings from time to time, but I have the undo script. Also, on the color issue, hu hu, I use the app in black and white to save battery life.

I really think you will get used to this very quickly if you stick with it.
