Hello community! I just found out, that I have been giving the wrong answer to a vocabulary for the last days and weeks. But Wanikani always accepts it, because “your spelling was a bit off”. The vocabulary in question is this 立てる Tateru. For whatever reason, I thought this meant “to correct” but …

One trick is to e-mail hello@wanikani.com and suggest they add it to the block list, words that are always marked wrong no matter how close they are.

Tagging the mods in this thread also usually works.
