The threshold for rK is ~3%. 思う壺に嵌る alone accounts for 5% of the total counts, and the various 嵌る forms add up to about 8%.

I'll make that one rK. It probably should be visible.

I think showing 3 forms is already quite a lot, but either way this suggestion really pertains to policy, not just this specific entry, so this discussion would be better suited for the github.

  Comments:
Any chance we could remove [sK] from 思う壺に嵌る?  The cited って n-gram counts put 思う壺に嵌って at 5.3%, which is not horrible.  If there are kanji forms, I like to see them, and I think this might cause jisho.org to hide the kanji form entirely (which was my motivation for the edit in the first place). 

It's not a "dead" usage.  Still uncommon (5%), but you see the kanji form on twitter often enough.
