The items will just appear in your lessons queue typically. If you were level 14 for example, and a new level 12 item is introduced, you’d get it to learn in your lesson queue.

New vocab ! Awesome !
That said…
Both of them are tagged “rare” on jisho, is it really a good idea to teach such rare words at very low level ? I can picture already beginners thinking 口にする is the normal way to say “to say”, try to use it, get told it’s weird and complain on the forum. 
To reinforce the やま reading what about 小山 or 山々 ? And for くち there is already plenty of words in lower level like 入口, 出口, 南口… But maybe I don’t quite understand the goal of adding 山びこ and 口にする

I was just about to reach my goal of 0 apprentice items (3 months after reaching level 60) and now that …
But thanks anyway - it will be great to see new lessons again!

Also wondering, will there be a list somewhere of which items will be removed?

Thanks for all the feedback and support! 
For the items we’re planning to hide, we do indeed have a tentative list, which we’ll definitely publish before we start hiding anything. We don’t plan to hide anything until June-ish, so in the meantime I’ll speak to the engineering team about your comments and suggestions!

Haha, maybe 
I agree that the message is a bit out of place:

Yeah, but have you even tried doing those zero lessons?
I don’t know how you expect to learn ゼロ if you don’t do the lessons!

Hi @est_fills_cando! I totally agree that it’s easier to learn one verb in a pair once the other has been learned, but I’m not sure I follow your reasoning for why 広がる is easier to learn than 広げる🤔
We set ordering based on a range of factors like transitivity (we tend to teach the transitive half of the pair first), how basic or common a word is, and how close the meaning is to the kanji. That said, I can see an argument for moving 広げる a little higher, since 広がる is slightly more common.

I’m glad you said that, because I was puzzling over that myself and thought I was missing something. They A) use the same reading as the kanji and B) use the same げる and がる for that we learn at level one with 下げる so I’m not sure difficulty is even a factor here.

Thanks @Arzar33! You’re right that they are less common, but both still useful. We chose them because we think they’re helpful for demonstrating when kun’yomi is used.
We explain that 口にする is not the standard verb for “to say” and carries extra nuances We also give alternative meanings (to mention, to eat, and to drink) …and on second thoughts we may change the primary meaning to “to mention” to reduce confusion!

Just to confirm @Joeni’s response, all the items that are lower than your level will show up in your lesson queue once they’re published! No need to redo WaniKani after level 60

Try telling that to @Leebo ^-^

I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t redo it though!

Good point, good point, hehe.
As I’m constantly telling my four-year-old - there’s a difference between a want and a need.

Aw, does that mean there are no new kanji this year? Or is this seperate from the normal new yearly additions?

We are indeed planning new kanji additions! The additions will be added gradually over the next few months or so, but we’ve only published the schedule for the next month so far
