Along with 牛, I constantly get these mixed up, even now. ---

Same. I also have 空 radical for sone reason but the only kanji that uses it comes at the next level. > **[WaniKani, a kanji learning application by Tofugu](https://www.wanikani.com/radicals/sky)** > > Learn Japanese kanji the effective way! ---

Hi @wct! Did you mean you’d like us to add all three of these to each other’s lists, as well as to those of 生, 牛, and 午? > [@pembo](#): > > appeared in my lesson queue this morning, did this get moved or something? Thanks for pointing this out @pembo! We had been planning to move this soon, but it was accidentally moved ahead of time. I’ll add it to the list above. > [@mtlvmpr](#): > > I also have 空 radical for sone reason but the only kanji that uses it comes at the next level. Hi @mtlvmpr, we haven’t moved 空, but I’ll add it to our list of future movements, to bring it to the same level as 控. ---

Did you mean you’d like us to add all three of these to each other’s lists, as well as to those of 生, 牛, 生 and 午? Yeah, basically. To me they are very visually similar. The split legs of 失 are easily visually confused with the ⊥-shaped bottom of the otherwise identical 生, at least to me. ---

Hi @wct, 矢, 失, and 朱 were already on each other’s lists, but I’ve now also added them to the lists for 生, 牛, and 午 🙂 ---

Hello, what is a block list? ---

It’s a list of words that the WaniKani staff adds to explicitly fail that reply. You probably noticed that WK by default allows you to make typos and it’ll fuzzy match your answer even if a few letters are off, but because of this sometimes it could accept a bad answer thinking it’s a typo. In these cases WK manually blacklists such meanings. For instance 南東 means “Southeast” and has “Southwest” blacklisted (probably because otherwise the algorithm would consider “southwest” to be close enough and accept it). 国王 is monarch and blacklists “monarchy”. I also _think_ that blacklists supersede user synonyms, preventing users from setting an incorrect synonym by mistake. Not entirely sure about this one. ---
