You can add custom synonyms. It’s in the left-hand sidebar. :slightly_smiling_face:

I get the two confused all the time :upside_down_face:

But, seriously I once typed big sis instead of older sister and it didn’t take it, but somehow this is acceptable lol

And how the heck did I misspell road :joy:

It doesn’t look for synonyms, it looks to how plausible it is that you meant to type the correct answer and just made a bunch of typos. If that probability is low enough, the answer is counted as incorrect. Typing big while meaning to type older is quite improbable, so the system thinks you meant to type big, which is in none of the synonyms. You are allowed to create your own user synonyms though, so go ahead and add “big sister” as one of your synonyms.

Also, if you don’t think it’s fair that that item now gets moved back in the SRS, have a look at this script below. Make sure you don’t abuse it though!

I actually think I deserved to get it knocked back. I was in a hurry and was rushing through my reviews, so basically it was my fault haha

I’m a super lazy typer so i ended up just adding “two bread” and “loaf” as user synonyms

I don’t have a picture but I remember when learning 妹 it would accept older sister… so I got very confused between 妹 and 姉.

It is not that far off, but I read that in an overly German accent and couldn’t help laughing out loud :smiley:

I hate unnecessary long explanations, so I added a synonym “bread” for each
~斤 —> breads
二斤 ----> two breads

Perhaps not entirely as specific, but I have now committed to memory that the kanji refers to “loaves of bread” and I doubt I’ll forget any time soon after this :smiley:
