“You… don’t… know… ME!?” Jun Sazanami exclaimed in a voice quivering with emotion.

The context sentence for 恵む is actually using 恵まれる. Nothing else like Patterns of Use.
Perhaps a passive form.
恵まれる and 恵み are more common.

To add, not sure why らん is accepted.
Good catch, I’ll add new context sentences soon.
Thanks! Updated it.

Proposal: replace 漣 with 嘯 which is used in 海嘯 (an alt spelling for tsunami or a tidal bore).
Rationale:
-
大海嘯 is the name of an attack in Final Fantasy, so clearly it’s important vocab.
-
嘯 looks cool
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the suggestions!
I’ve added them to the list for consideration. 
(I was mostly joking, I think there are many more useful kanji that could be added, although 嘯 does look badass).
If you want a more serious proposition, I stumble upon 叶 regularly (叶う, mainly).

That is a very valid reason!! I wonder if there’s an FF Anki deck somewhere
We published (and moved) the following items today. Enjoy!

I didn’t get 揃う as a lesson, although I find it through the search function (2023-08-31T05:49:00Z)
You have to guru the kanji before the vocab will show up as a lesson.

If I may nitpick, “You’ll have to put 立つ into the masu form without the masu” in 立場’s reading explanation feels a little out of place. I’m not sure if Tofugu’s Learn Japanese guide is canon, but it recommends waiting until level 10 to start learning grammar, so it’s weird for a level-9 item to expect me to know how to put things into the masu form. For what it’s worth, the reading explanation for 刺身 on level 28 uses the term “stem form” for what I think is the same construction (see “Stem Form” in Tofugu’s grammar guide), and the reading explanation for level 10’s 立ち飲み is just kind of vague about it. (And regardless, shouldn’t “masu” be written in hiragana here to match the meaning explanations on 申す and 存じる?)
Still, it’s always nice to get a few new words!

That’s a great point, thanks for pointing it out. I agree that we should’ve avoided the mention of the masu form. I’ll bring this to the team and make changes, thanks!

Nice catch, @nootnootnoot ! 
I’m glad there are folks like yourself who are going through the Tofugu/WaniKani material from the beginning, and taking the time to report about how the material logically flows (or doesn’t flow, as the case may be) from a beginning-level perspective. Since I’ve already been using it for a while now, and more focused on maybe intermediate-level aspects of learning Japanese, I’m now effectively ‘blind’ to such beginning-level issues, as they are no longer at the forefront of my attention. I would never have thought to make the observation you made, let alone notice that it’s inconsistent with the earlier guides/lessons on Tofugu!
… Oh, I just checked out your user info. It says:
Haha! That’s great! 
Well, I guess you’re not a complete newcomer to learning Japanese, but again, I’m still glad there are folks like you who, upon returning to it after a while, are able to see things with ‘fresh eyes’, and take the time to point them out to the WK team.
Cheers!

Liking these updates a lot! 揃 and 炒 were some of the first kanji I had to learn outside of WaniKani and a lot of the new vocabulary were gaps of mine I had to learn through conversation. Great additions, really filling out the program, just wanted to give a thumbs up to the team.

An other fairly useful kanji not on WK is 貰, as in 貰う. Usually kana of course, but I regularly stumble upon the kanji version as well.
