Wed, January 21st, 2026 (1 addition and 11 movements)

New Items

• Canine/戌 radical - added to level 13

Level Changes

• Level 13: 実感 vocab - moved up to level 21
• Level 13: 感心 vocab - moved up to level 21
• Level 13: 同感 vocab - moved up to level 20
• Level 13: 五感 vocab - moved up to level 19
• Level 13: 感動する vocab - moved up to level 16
• Level 13: 感想 vocab - moved up to level 15
• Level 13: 感じ vocab - moved up to level 14
• Level 46: 万歳 vocab - moved up to level 47
• Level 46: 二十歳 vocab - moved up to level 48
• Level 46: 歳入 vocab - moved up to level 49
• Level 46: 歳暮 vocab - moved up to level 50

Content Changes

• The new radical 戌 was added, so the components and mnemonics of the kanji using this radical were updated accordingly.

Reasoning

• The radical Canine/戌 is used in the kanji 感, 減, 威, 滅, 歳, and 蔑. Adding this radical can reduce the number of components in each kanji and simplify the mnemonics, making them easier to remember. Moreover, while 戌 itself was not added as a kanji, teaching it as “canine” is beneficial to learners since it is the kanji for the Dog in the Chinese zodiac and occasionally appears in that context in the wild. Along with this change, we reordered the vocabulary with the kanji 感 and 歳 to improve the learning order.

Wed, January 28th, 2026 (4 additions and 5 movements)

New Items

• Droopy/垂 radical - added to level 26
• 僅 kanji - added to level 33
• 僅差 vocab - added to level 33
• 妃 vocab - added to level 53

Level Changes

• Level 29: 睡眠薬 vocab - moved down to level 28
• Level 33: 垂 kanji - moved down to level 26
• Level 33: 垂直 vocab - moved down to level 26
• Level 34: 堇 / Boot radical - moved down to level 33
• Level 49: 皇太子妃 vocab - moved up to level 50

Content Changes

• The new radical Droopy/垂 was added, so the components and mnemonics of the kanji using this radical was updated accordingly. The kanji 垂’s primary meaning was also changed to “droop” to match better with the new radical and better reflect the kanji’s meaning.
• To go along with the addition of the new vocab 妃, the primary meaning of the kanji 妃 was changed from “princess” to “royal consort” to better reflect its wider range of possible meanings.

Reasoning

• The radical Droopy/垂 is used in 垂 and 睡. Currently, 車 is used as the radical for both, but the visual connection is weak. Adding the new radical 垂 (Droopy) helps users remember the right form. It also allows for clearer and more memorable mnemonics that better match the meanings of the kanji. Along with this change, we moved the kanji 垂 and the vocab 垂直 and 睡眠薬 for better scaffolding. Kanji 垂 also had its primary meaning changed to “droop,” which not only matches better with the new radical but also aligns more closely with the actual meaning of the kanji. “Dangle” is still taught as an alternate meaning, but is no longer the primary since many of its English uses fall outside the scope of 垂’s meaning — a child dangling from monkey bars or someone dangling their legs over the edge of something, for example.
• We added the kanji 僅 and vocab 僅差. This addition not only teaches the new kanji and vocab but also this helps to consolidate the radical Boot/堇, which isn’t currently a component of any kanji in its unmodified form. (It’s only used in two kanji total, both of which use a modified version of it.) Along with this change, we moved down the radical Boot/堇 by one level to appear before the kanji 僅.
• We added the vocab 妃 to teach the kun’yomi reading of the kanji 妃. We added this at level 53 — several levels above the kanji and all of its on’yomi vocabulary — to reduce confusion when learning the new reading. Along with this addition, 皇太子妃 was also moved up a level from 49 to 50 to spread out the 妃 vocabulary items slightly.
