Practice · spaced repetition
The words your kanji make.
Most kanji are read as part of a word of two or more, not on their own. 学 and 校 together are 学校, school. This deck holds the 58 N5 words written only with N5 kanji, and brings each one in once you know the kanji it is made of.
Nothing is due today.
The whole point of a review schedule is that it does not ask for more than it needs to. Come back tomorrow, or introduce a few new words now.
Done for now.

Words and characters together: the hiragana, katakana and kanji decks use the same five stages.

Ten is the default, and only compounds whose kanji you already know are ever offered. Update applies the new number straight away.
Every compound, and where it stands
Ready means you know both kanji and the word can be introduced. Waiting names the kanji you still need.

Are these N5?
Yes, as words. There has been no official JLPT word list since 2010, and the lists every course uses put all 58 of these at N5. They are also the only compounds you can read with the N5 kanji alone.
The N5 word lists hold 173 more compounds, such as 日曜日, 友達 and 病院. They are N5 words, but each uses at least one kanji from a higher level, and at N5 they are usually learned in kana. They stay in the main word deck and are not offered here, because this deck only brings in words whose kanji you know.
How it works
Only when the kanji are sound. A compound is offered as new once each of its kanji is Familiar or beyond in the kanji deck, which takes about four days of right answers. Until then it waits, and the list above says which kanji it is waiting for.
One record for each word. These are the main deck's cards. A compound you learn here is one the main deck already knows, and the other way round.
Special readings. A few compounds are not read the way their kanji suggest: 今日 is きょう, 大人 is おとな, 一人 is ひとり. The card says so when you turn it, and these are best learned as whole words.
