A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Introduction

A simple educational game aimed at solving a problem people often have when learning Japanese Kanji: mixing up visually similar characters. For users of WaniKani, you can set your level in settings, so you'll only see Kanji up to your level!

How To Play

  • Choose a mode
    • On: The 'On' reading mode checks your understanding of the 'On' reading for a particular Kanji, coming from the original Chinese reading.
    • Kun: The 'Kun' reading mode checks your understanding of the 'Kun' reading, the Japanese reading of the word.
    • Meaning: The meaning mode checks your understanding of the meaning of the kanji.
  • Choose the right answer using left or right arrow keys
    • The quicker you choose, the more score multiplier you get (if you are correct!). Too many mistakes and you lose.
