Today I found that slightly more than 60 words on the N2 vocabulary schedule had been reset to zero. The android app presented them to me as new words. I have been studying these words for about four months. As far as I can tell, these words haven't been updated with new definitions, pronunciations or anything else. Therefore: bug, I think. I was disappointed to lose my progress.
The only thing I did with this schedule, immediately before this happened, was increase the quiz size from 40 words to 50 words. This should have no effect on mastery.
I am not sure why or how these specific words had their progress reset. Why was it only these 60 plus words, and not the entire N2 list? I am not sure.
Posting this here in case anyone has similar experience.
Sure. The first five are: あたたまる、あてはめる、あれこれ、いいつける、いちいち.
I'm being reminded of these because I'm looking at Renshuu's "Words learned in the last week." So, they are listed in the order presented there. Which I think is the same order that the app gave them to me when learning. To be clear, I did not truly learn these in the last week.
The last five are: すれちがう、しょうがない、ぜひとも、そのほか、とりあえず。
By the way, I have readjusted my mastery on these words now. So, there's no need for any urgency. If I'm the only person who has had this issue, then I guess we can assume I pressed something wrong (although I can't imagine what).
