## Description

Kotoba Puzzle is a simple yet deep word game: guess a 4- or 5-character Japanese hiragana word within 6 tries. The puzzle itself works offline — no account, no sign-up. A connection is used only to load ads. Perfect for a quick brain workout anywhere.

HOW IT WORKS
Type any hiragana word of the right length and submit. Each tile is then colored:

- Green: right letter, right position
- Yellow: the letter is in the word, but in a different spot
- Gray: the letter is not in the word

Use these three colors to narrow down the answer within six tries.

WORD OF THE DAY
A new word is served every day, derived from the date itself — so players all over the world face the very same puzzle, with no server needed. One daily word each for 4- and 5-character modes. Come back tomorrow for a fresh one.

ENDLESS PRACTICE
Want more? Practice mode serves unlimited puzzles so you can keep playing as long as you like.

SHARE AS COLOR TILES
Copy your result as a spoiler-free pattern of colored tiles and show friends how few tries you needed — without revealing the answer.

SMART KANA KEYBOARD
A fifty-sounds hiragana keyboard plus dakuten (゛), handakuten (゜) and small-kana (小) conversion keys. Type が, ぱ, っ or ゃ by converting the last character with a single tap. Discovered letters are reflected in the keyboard colors.

TRACK YOUR STATS
Play counts, win rate, daily streaks and a guess distribution chart — all stored only on your device.

GREAT FOR JAPANESE LEARNERS
A fun daily dose of hiragana vocabulary. The word list focuses on familiar, everyday Japanese words.

PLAYS OFFLINE, KEEPS YOUR DATA ON DEVICE
No accounts and no sign-up, and your play records stay on your device. The puzzle works in airplane mode; network access is used only to load ads, which are served by Unity Ads and may use your device identifier. Safe for all ages.
