You’ve seen 鼻血, right? はなぢ is the default, but maybe you jumped right to はなじ and didn’t notice?

That’s right! I thought はなじ seemed weird somehow. I must have immediately forgotten about はなぢ.
Thanks for the extra feedback to those who have posted more replies. I am loathe to try anything other than the x solution as I had already made so many readings mistakes on questions I feel confident on. I know that you need to have a good streak to move on to new material and one wrong answer can ruin this. Maybe there is something strange about my keyboard but hopefully the extra info will be useful for someone else. I will give the extra suggestions a go when I get some brand new kanji to learn. Thanks
If it makes you feel any better, I started typing x because I couldn’t get it to work a lot.
Good luck! If you need more help, though, you should reach out to the support team too. They’d be happy to help! 
You can alway use “l” instead of “x” as well, for “little.” I hate trying to use the contracted forms (typing kyu きゅ, for instance) when trying to type katakana, so I use “l” to make them small (kilyu きゅ). Sounds like you’ve chosen to use “x,” but wanted to give you that option since I didn’t see it mentioned (maybe I’m blind).

If you don’t press Enter, your mistake will not be entered, and you can delete it without penalty.
Probably the best time to try new things is level 1 because you have very little time or money invested in the program, so mistakes don’t matter very much, and they’re free. If you do decide to continue after the free levels, you’ll thank yourself for learning the ins and outs of the input system once the reviews start piling up. And the input system used here is not particularly unique to WaniKani. If you’re interested in learning Japanese, it applies anywhere (unless you decide to use a system like this:
which I’ve tried but can’t seem to get used to.)
