Is there a way to reduce the number of correct answers that slay ghosts? I think by default it is four correct will slay.
If this does not exist, I would like to suggest a feature to adjust this, e.g., two correct will slay the ghost.

Hello Hankdaddy!
There is a feature that allows you to remove any ghosts you want individually. If you click on ghosts from your dashboard, you can see them all sorted by level. You can trash any you know, or any over a certain level!
My personal opinion however, if you know it well enough to slay it, why not just do the extra reinforcement! It only takes an extra 5-20 seconds. If you don’t know it well enough to slay it, then it should stay a ghost! A ghosted word is pretty far from mastered, in the grand scheme of your studies.
Best of luck studying!

Thanks, JCee. I see the value of ghosts, so I don’t want to remove them.
Question: when you say "why not just do the extra reinforcement! It only takes an extra 5-20 seconds, " are you referring to method to “cram” through them quickly? Or can you briefly elaborate?
Thank you again.

I’m not saying remove all of your ghosts, I’m saying you can selectively delete them once you you feel they don’t need to be there anymore. You hit the trash can on each individual troubled item in your ghosts section, that you feel doesn’t need to be there anymore.

I’m saying, if you’ve read the identical sentence ~5 times (The minimum number of times for it to reach ghost 3), and you feel you know it well enough that you want to delete the ghost, then rereading the exact same sentence for the 6th and 7th time shouldn’t take you that long. (Compared to a brand new sentence)
その動物は犬じゃない
そのどうぶつはいぬじゃない
That animal is not a dog.
If you read this 5 times, and you feel you know all the words, your 6th time is hopefully very easy, and much faster than your first time!
I was trying to emphasize that a sentence you’ve read so often, and feel you know well, shouldn’t take much of your time, and you can just answer the question.
Instead of deleting the ghost early. You can just take that extra practice!
If answering the ghost question is still challenging/time consuming for you, then I think you might still need the extra practice!
And my answer isn’t about you!
If I’m working on a ghost, and I have to sit and take my time to remember the grammar/vocab, or read the sentence, then I’m glad it’s there! Because it needs more work.
But if I know the answer, and can quickly reread the sentence and answer correctly, then the ghost doesn’t bother me at all if it shows up again. It will quickly be slain.
I hope this helps!

We’re close to releasing a feature that lets you set the starting level of newly created Ghosts.
Will make a post when all of this gets released.
