Kanji: Japanese Word Search
Rottz Games
Kanji Search turns time with kanji into a puzzle you'll actually want to play — think classic Word Search, but with kanji.
Love Japanese, or learning it? It's a relaxing way to meet real kanji every day — and a satisfying brain-teaser if you just love puzzles.
HOW IT PLAYS
Every board gives you a set of target kanji and a grid of components. Swipe to connect the right pieces and complete each kanji — easy to pick up, satisfying to master. As you find one, you see its meaning, reading and a stroke hint, so you absorb real Japanese while you play.
A QUICK EXAMPLE
森 "forest" = 木 + 木 + 木 (three trees). 休 "rest" = ⺅ (person) + 木 (tree). Every kanji breaks into pieces like these — find them on the grid.
FOR ENTHUSIASTS & LEARNERS
• Real kanji with their meanings and readings
• Spans JLPT levels, school grades, radicals and frequency
FOUR DIFFICULTIES
From breezy Easy boards to brain-bending Insane, there's a challenge for every level — whether you're prepping for the JLPT or just unwinding.
FEATURES
• Hundreds of kanji to discover
• Drag-to-find, word-search-style gameplay
• Meaning, reading and stroke-hint clue cards — toggle anytime
• Achievements and cloud save to track your progress
• Fully offline — no account, no internet needed
• Free to play, with an optional ad-free upgrade
Whether you're studying for the JLPT, brushing up your kanji, or simply after a calm, clever puzzle, Kanji Search makes every match a tiny lesson.
