They say talking about your leeches helps you avoid them in the future, so here’s a question for you: What’s your worst leech, in terms of the sheer number of times you’ve gotten it wrong? What happened For me, it’s 人数, and it’s all about the reading. にんずう. About half the time it comes up, I’ve put…

I am sorry as I have no idea, but what is leech in WK terminology? Thanks!

大勢 - Dai-sei … :slight_smile: Edit: And of course it means “great Force”, what else.

具合 and 皮 are tied for first place for me. Follow up is 思想. Leech score of 23 and 19 respectively. :exploding_head:

Kappa420: Follow up is 思想 All the 想 ones are my bane - 予想, 想定, 思想, 感想… concept shmoncept… Kappa420: Leech score of 23 and 19 respectively What do you use to check the score?

Kappa420: I’m using the WaniKani item Inspector script. Thanks! This let me know that apparently 名字 is my worst enemy (that damn reading…), followed closely by 六日 (why not ろっか ?!) and 作用 (what’s up with 作用 anyway? I can’t seem to make it stay in my head)

場合 makes me cry because I just can’t get myself to type “A” twice in a row…I suppose it would help to have a spelling script on or something, but I just typed it twice incorrectly >_< so maybe not XD

Anything that has 相 or 推 in it. I don’t have a problem with the kanji themselves, but the vocab that use them all sound the same and the kanji that make up the jukugo all mean pretty similar things… bah.

The radical 品 means products, but 品物 is goods while 商品 can be goods or product so it confuses me a lot!

What's your worst leech?

Yeah, those dozens of hypothesis and anticipation words are awful.
