I noticed I unlocked 整然, a level 36 vocab word, while im only level 17. Has anybody else encountered this? Its not a huge issue as I know the kanji, but thought it was interesting that it happened.

Oh, I may have unlocked it then actually. Ive been very slow…

This is most definitely it after I saw the other reply as well. I have 申し申し burned im pretty sure. Had no idea it got moved.
