While on the Reviews page, open the Javascript console (press F12 and click on the Console tab), and post any errors you see there.
Hmm⊠Usually, there would be some errors that help point toward whatâs wrong, but none of the errors in your screenshot are related to scripts. (Theyâre just normal Wanikani-related stuff.)
And you arenât seeing a gear icon in the top-left corner of the Reviews screen? (Also, it donât think Double-Check runs on the Lessons quiz. Itâs only on the Reviews quiz. Just in case there was some confusion.)

All correct. I have been looking in the reviews screen specifically. Nothing in the top left corner. Any other thoughts? Iâve tried on two computers now, a mac and a pc, just in case that was the issue. Not seeing anything on either 
ok, I figured it out!!! Thank you!!
I had allowed developers mode, both in Chrome and in the app, but I also needed to allow user scripts, and this was off. Again, this is all new to me, I whole world to discver I guessâŠ
Thanks for your support.
Interesting, it looks like that setting was just added in the most recent version of Chrome. Iâll add that to the instructions.

Interesting. And I had just updated my chrome!
Are you an employee of Wanikani or just a pro user?
Iâve done some contract work for Wanikani in the past, but Iâm mainly just a long-time user (since 2014) who wanted to improve the WK experience for myself and others via userscripts. I finished WK around 2016, but stuck around for the community. Lately, Iâm only here when I get notifications about posts on my script-related threads, and I occasionally fix one or two of the most useful scripts when something changes on WK that breaks them.

Wow. I think Wanikani is both amazing and overwhelming. Itâs an incredible tool and Iâm enjoying learning, but it sure take up a lot of mental space as well! Iâve seen many posts on the topic, and am happy to have installed double check for typos. Are there any other scripts that were transformative to you in your journey?
To me personally, the most important script was Self-Study Quiz, combined with Self-Study Hide Info, but it depends on your study preferences.
You are still in early levels, so itâs going to be relatively easy for a while, but youâll eventually find it more difficult to remember all of the info you are packing into your brain. I found it immensely helpful to start each new level â while items are still at Apprentice rank â by repeatedly recalling items until I could recite the reading and meaning without hesitation. It takes more time up front, but youâll find that your Reviews go much faster (at least 2x for me), and you will forget less. In Self-Study Quiz, you can create a quiz preset that includes your current levelâs items (put â+0â in the Level field of the Items Preset). Setting up the quiz for Reading-Then-Meaning also helped me immensely. About half of your brainâs neurons are related to sequence-learning, so quizzing the items with âReading-then-Meaningâ, back-to-back, helps cement the two together in your mind. Some people find âMeaning-then-Readingâ more effective, but I prefer âreadingâ first because it makes me think of the Japanese pronunciation first as soon as I see a word, which means you are closer to âthinkingâ in Japanese.
Self-Study Hide Info is designed to let you use the Items pages on Wanikani (e.g. the Levels, Radicals, Kanji, and Vocab pages) as a simple quiz without the Reviews-like interface of Self-Study Quiz. Basically, it hides the Reading and Meaning on those pages, and you can go item-by-item trying to recall them. Then hit the Shuffle button and repeat until you can recite them without hesitation. Shuffle is important because otherwise youâll start remembering things by the sequence that they appear on-screen, which gives you artificial help that isnât helpful for real-world memorization.
Both of those scripts are slightly broken: Self-Study Quiz relies on certain font-based icons that WaniKani removed from the site a few years ago, so most of the icons wonât appear in the Quiz interface unless you modify the script. Some helpful users have posted info in the Self-Study Quiz thread on how to patch the script. (I donât have time to do an official fix.)
Self-Study Hide Info is also slightly broken: WaniKani used to fully load each new page as you navigate, but they changed the site to where it loads pieces of the site dynamically as you navigate around, so the Hide Info script doesnât get started when you navigate to one of the pages where it is supposed to run. So, you have to navigate to one of those pages, then click the browserâs refresh button, and the interface will appear.
In the past, there also used to be a script that would let you quiz your items in the official WK Reviews with the Reading and Meaning given back-to-back. But, again, WK changed how the quiz queue works, so Iâm not sure thatâs possible anymore (at least, not without someone writing a new script to do so). That script also made a huge improvement in getting Reviews done quickly. Some people said they found that it negatively affected their memorization, but my sense from peopleâs feedback is that it didnât harm most peopleâs memorization, and almost universally made their reviews go faster. But itâs no longer possible now anyway, as far as I know, so I guess itâs a moot point.

Amazing. Thanks for all of your replies and your kindness. This is all so helpful. I hope you donât mind my continued questions. I just downloaded both. I donât see all of the menu options that appear on your screenshots on your guide. I donât seem to have access to any settings. This is what my window looks like when I launch the program. What am I missing?
And there is a little box above the work âpairingâ, which I can tick or not, but it doesnt tell me what it is. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
Thatâs the part I mentioned about icons being broken.
However⊠Iâve just posted an [update] for Self-Study Quiz that fixes it. This script is now back in action. (Yay!).
Credit to @juniormint for their Stylish patch, parts of which I integrated into this fix.

Amazing. And it works! Thank you.
Hi again! How do I do this exactly? Iâm guessing in this area, but not sure what should be ticked or not to get that orderâŠ
Or do I just choose âreading firstâ while running the app?
Just click the area (Pairing: Reading First) until you get this. It will then quiz your reading followed by the meaning. Good luck to you 
@DuoLingo is correct about the setup. The âJapanese to Englishâ preset and the âApprentice Itemsâ preset are generally the best place to start.
Side note: I noticed some font characters in your screen-capture are rendered as squares. Those are supposed to be arrows, but your font apparently doesnât contain those characters. Looks like Iâll need to look for some arrow characters that are more widely supported, or replace it with graphical arrows.
Thanks. What if I wanted to study, say, only radicals in level 3 (or in my current level, which happens to be 3). Is there a way for me to do that through this program?
Then youâd create a new Items preset, give it a name (âLevel 3 Radicalsâ), and set up the filters:
- Enable the âItem Typeâ filter and select âRadicalsâ
- Enable the âLevelâ filter and enter â3â for the level. (Or enter â+0â or â-0â to show your current level, no matter which level you are on. For example, â-1â means your current level minus 1, whereas â1â just means level 1. If you hover the cursor over the Level filter field, it shows some additional examples.
