Kanji: Spot the Odd One

Find the one different kanji in a grid of look-alikes (末/未, 土/士…). Streaks grow the grid. Bite-sized brain training for kanji fans.

Can you spot the difference?

Japanese kanji are full of look-alikes: 末 vs 未, 土 vs 士, 微 vs 徴, 戌 vs 戍 vs 戊… Tiny strokes, totally different meanings.

This is a simple brain training game where you find the one different kanji in a grid of identical-looking ones.
