This must be a FAQ but I can’t find the answer: At the very start of a level, why are less than 90% of kanji unlocked? It seems like with some levels, it’s like 85% of kanji start out unlocked, which means I’m just waiting a few extra days for 2 or 3 other ones to become unlocked? So it makes the l…

Kanji are unlocked when you have guru’d all their radicals. You immediately unlock the kanji for which you already guru’d the radicals from previous levels. You don’t unlock the others. I’m impressed you made it to level 20 without realizing that’s how it worked.

I think (others may correct me) that the purpose of not giving all the kanji at once, is to keep the speed at week per level (at the fastest speed).

I want to keep my leveling speed at 7days for now, so I’ll just allocate more vocab to the same time I do second wave. I might consider a script once I start to get more than 5 new kanji per wave. … I finally realized I cannot do 100 lessons of vocab at once, the typing takes time even if I know mo…

I dunno, I guess I was confused since it says only Kanji (not Radicals and Vocab) count towards 90% completing the level and moving on?
