Kanjidle is a guessing game inspired by the famous Wordle, but adapted for those who study or appreciate the Japanese language. Instead of guessing a word, the goal is to guess a secret kanji using detailed hints. Unlike other games of the genre, there is no daily limit – you can play as many times as you want, exploring and learning at your own pace.
How It Works
The mission is simple: discover the right kanji in a few attempts. With each guess, you receive visual feedback that indicates how close you are to the answer:
Green: exact match.
Yellow: partial match (for example, sharing some reading).
Red: no match.
Clues and Information
Each attempt reveals data that helps to deduce the target character:
Kanji: shows the attempted character, with color indicating general proximity.
Meaning: informs whether there is a relationship in meaning with the target kanji.
On’yomi and Kun’yomi Readings: indicates coincidences in Sino-Japanese readings (On) or native readings (Kun).
School Grade: compares the Japanese school grade in which the kanji is taught.
JLPT: checks if the proficiency level matches.
Number of Strokes: indicates whether the target kanji has more, fewer, or the same number of strokes.
Frequency: compares the usage popularity of the kanji.
Classification: shows the category (Jōyō, Jinmeiyō, etc.).

Reinforce memory: constant practice improves kanji retention.
