When to add an entry
If you are reasonably confident of the word itself and the appropriate meanings or translation within the context, go for it!

Try not to add the same word more than once in a given week’s reading.

What to add

Please add all words in dictionary form.
For example, if the book uses 行きます, please enter 行く. If the book uses 寒かった, please enter 寒い.

In the 'kana' column, please enter the kana used in the book.

In General: Grammar is not vocabulary and should NOT be included in this list. Please use the forums to ask/post grammar related questions.

How to define words

To keep things consistent, please use definitions from Jisho or a similar JP > EN dictionary.

Please only include the relevant meanings for the context, and remove alternative spellings (e.g. keep only "colour" or "color", not both).

For clarity's sake, there should never be enough meanings that it wraps onto a second line; remove meanings to keep the length to one column-width maximum. If there is no way around a longer definition wrapping onto a second line, that is acceptable. Just keep it reasonable.

General Tips

Use the notes column to add helpful or interesting information, such as if the word used in the book is colloquial, or from a particular dialect.

Double-click into a cell before pasting to enter unformatted text.

*Note: If you are having problems with this function, or you simply don't want this kind of formatting in the sheet, you can duplicate the unformatted sheet instead! This will mean that any cell highlights for entries requiring extra attention will have to be highlighted manually.

If the function is not working as intended, please make a post describing the issue in the Tips for Running a WaniKani Book Club on the forums!
