I was doing 5 lessons a day and have increased it to 9 - the minimum for this approach. I was worried at first because I was getting kanji lessons for the new level when I still had 50 vocab lessons left for the old. However, the interleaving does work. Also, one of the disadvantages of going slow has been doing vocab a few days after the corresponding kanji so you’ve forgotten it but the interleaving means I am getting the corresponding vocab sooner. Also, I can pick items so today I picked the last 2 kanji for my current level to make sure I would finish the kanji lessons today and did not pick the kanji that turned up for a previous level.
I also like the way it shows the lesson items grouped by level. This makes it less of a surprise when there are content updates.
You say “for experianced user” and yet I either accept i have to manually pick my lessons for the rest of my life to avoid dozens of words i already know and were added randomly stopping me from actually learning new kanji or just bite the bullet, learn everything and drop WK for another 6 months because i got frustrated my reviews are cluttered with words i dont want.
Is there a “select to burn” feature im missing and ranting for no reason?
I’m enjoying this update immensely! Thank you
Just a quick note - I do 10 per day with a batch size of 5. Do 5 lessons, do 5 more, ignore the last 5. You could easily do 5 lessons too, just ignore the last 10.
As someone who has been on WaniKani since forever, frequently resetting and never making it past level 30, I want to say thank you to the devs for this update. For a casual student (and not a speedrunner, like many on this site), this is absolutely perfect. The whole experience feels more relaxed.
I have changed my mind about this update.
At first, I didn’t like it, but after using it for these past few weeks I now love it, it is a well done, great feature.
I like choosing the kanjis for my lessons, and it feels less overwhelming.
Thanks, devs!
Just dropping by to say that I’m digging the new lesson order. I was already doing 15 new items a day anyway and now that the radicals, kanji, and vocab are mixed up, it has helped levels stay fresh and I think it will also help with retention.
I reset to level 1 not long ago and this new feature helps accelerate through the early levels. Thanks for making the update!
I too love it as well. In the past, I ALWAYS had a 100 - 120 vocabulary to deal with after leveling up! Right now I have 6 kanji left with ONLY 16 vocabulary left!!! LOVE IT 
Yeah that’s totally the best part!
Small quality of life feature request. It would be nice if one could select multiple items in a row by pressing shift. Like, I could select the first item I want to practce, hold down shift, and select the last item.
I personally have a system, where I review batches of 30 reviews each hour, which generally means having to click through that many items in a row, if it’s a big batch of vocabulary. But I’m sure there are also other uses for this.
I just want to draw peoples attention to the new app setting that allows you to set the daily limit for Today’s Lessons. I added an announcement here incase you missed it.
I like that you can configure the number of todays lessons but at present I’ve cut my wanikani activity right down so only taking a new lesson every 2-4 days but the parameters don’t allow this. I imagine it would be quite easy to tweak this? And would be then be useful as I would like a reminder.
Lesson Picker = Lesson Backlog?
The Lesson Picker probably allowed me to reach level 60 faster, but I got here with over 300 vocabs still pending to learn from levels 54-60. I just did not have enough self control to do the vocabs first when new kanjis were unclocked That of course would not have been possible before. I wonder if that does not undermine the wanikani methodology, because learning the vocabs definately helps learning the kanjis. Just a thought maybe the user should not be allowed to have a lesson backlog from more than two levels to be able to proceed to the next one?
I amassed a huge backlog for the last 10 levels as well. I think the root issue is that the end of the WaniKani course is a bit of a mess with weird kanji selection, low frequency stuff of dubious value at this point in my studies and the strange “fast level” quirk that lets you go through two levels/week.
I still think that adding these last ten levels was a mistake, they should have just reworked the original 50 levels instead.
