I've been doing Anki every day for months, now, and I've got several thousand vocab entries in my deck at this point. Now that I have so many terms, I've started to run into the following problems:

• homophones on my listening cards: I have a card type with audio on the front and the term/definition/etc. on the back, but I often come across 漢語 homophones (stuff like 投稿 vs. 登校). I know pitch accent is very helpful in a lot of cases, but it doesn't always help. What's a good way to add disambiguating information onto the front of the card? I imagine a cloze sentence would help, but I'm worried that might make it too easy.

• synonyms: my current format is english definition cloze on the front and term on the back, but there's often several words that fit, and it can be frustrating to answer with the wrong word (even though it might also work). I've started to make the transition to J->J*, but I'm not sure that'll really solve the problem. Thoughts?

*by the way, if anybody has any good automatic tools for generating J->J definitions, I'd be really grateful. I'm using yomichan at the moment, but using various J->J dictionaries with that has the problem that the definitions usually contain the word they're defining...

More generally, I'd love to hear what card types people here use in their decks!
