#but yeah this estimator matches up well with how my Readibu experience has gone (using their HSK comprehension stats)

This was fun, estimated I know ~2200 hanzi

I found the bottom circles interesting because they may help me figure out why my Readibu ‘what I can actually read extensively’ seems to match up to HSK 4 Comprehensible 90%+ and HSK 5 Comprehensible 80%+. 

I stopped studying from HSK after 4 (of which this estimator says I know 90% of HSK 4 words). So after HSK 4, I studied new words primarily from novels and shows. This pie chart estimator puts me at 86% HSK 5 hanzi known, and 71% HSK 6 hanzi known. This seems to complement well that lower level I’m finding of competence in Readibu’s stats (I need HSK 4 90%s and HSK 5 80%s comprehensible Stats in readibu for a given novel to feel ‘easy’ to read). I’d say this estimator tool was fairly close to my real language skills. I think my actual words known is WAY smaller than 51k words lol. But I do think a lot of those 51k made up of hanzi I know would probably be words I can learn rather quickly, since I already know their hanzi. (I generally have no problems learning new hanzi and words nowadays though, I just have to see new words 2-12 times in reading and they eventually stick lol).
