Is there a way to reset the top 10 leeches for a deck?
My Genki deck seems to have old leeches, like お父さん which I know well but it’s always at the top spot at 7 wrong.
I wonder if the no of times wrong is the most useful way to identify trouble words too. Does WK not use a percentage for this? That would be more interesting to me than an absolute fail count.
Anyhow, thanks for this great site! Definately planning to subscribe once its pay.
Yeah they do, but that’s not better in my opinion. Imagine doing a lesson and 4h later getting it wrong once. Boom, here you have a 50% accuracy item that’s far from being a leech, but that will show up there 
Hi, welcome! 
There is no way to reset the leeches as we get it through a query that sorts by percentage, from a minimum of 4 times wrongly answered.
As an example, here’s my wall of shame:
As you can see, a kanji that I answered wrongly 10 times is below others with lower counts.
I’ve been thinking about adding something that would keep track of the current “correct streak”, which would influence the leech rank of the item, but nothing’s fleshed out yet.
Let me know if this (or something else?) would help and whether this answers your question 
Thanks for your kind comment and your support! Very happy to hear that you enjoy using Kitsun!
Thanks for the quick response.
This answers my question but does not quite do what I’m hoping to do. What I’m hoping to do is use the self study tool to help me study words that I
perhaps burned?Basically I feel like this ‘Top Leeches’ widget is useful, but to me it’s only useful as a category to feed the self study tool, and I wishere there were more categories to feed it with.
Hope this makes sense!
Ah I see, for now you should be able to manually select the cards you wish to self study from the cards page of that specific deck (accessed from the cards button at the bottom of the deck dashboard page).
New cards are always Fennec Fox 1, right? 
So I just go the deck, click on “All cards”, advanced search, select SRS 1, and here you have the list From there, you can select them all and go to the orange button on top to use the Self Study tool 
I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to select cards in the ‘all cards’ section. I don’t see any tickboxes or ‘select all’ button, or a button for a self-study tool.
The only thing I’m able to do is click a card which takes me the edit section for that card.
There are no tooltips on any of the icons (I wonder what the orange icon is, I assume the number is the SRS level)
Let me know if you’re able to do it this time
If you’re talking about the orange icon that shows up on the right in my first screenshots, it means that card is hibernated/suspended (it won’t show up on your lessons nor reviews).
Thanks @jprspereira for those pics. I’ve got it all working now.
The issue was I had to click the icon next left of the Kitsun Search bar to switch the card display to list. Mine was set to thumbnail view, without ability to select cards and the ‘Action’ button top right corner was not drawn in this view either.
(can’t include a pic as due to work internet restrictions)
Ohhh, I see! Yeah, glad it worked out
@Neicudi, tbh, you should remove this alternative view. It’s so useless it hurts xD Not to mention that it’s a button occupying space.
Glad it all worked out!
@jprspereira yeah, or at least make the other one the default view. I agree
I think that reviews that are recent should have a higher weight in finding leeches, so the list is more relevant to the current status of the word in the user’s mind.
Have a “leech rating” for each word that is used to determine the top leeches.
The leech rating is calculated by:
Sum of (failure_value * 0.9^(position))
So in the rating, the most recent review with the word (position 0) has a weight of 100%, so failing there gives 1 in the leech rating, if the previous failure was 2 reviews ago (position 2), that failure has 81% weight so it adds 0.81 to the leech rating.
You don’t need to store the review history to calculate the values, though. You only need to store the current leech rating. This variable can be easily calculated with an online algorithm:
For each new word, initialize the leech rating to 0.
Each time the user gets a review on the word correctly, the leech rating is decreased by 10% overall (multiplied by 0.9)
Each time the user gets a review wrong, the leech rating changes to:
LR := 1 + LR*0.9
