Nikoichi Kanji: Word Puzzle

No typing, no timers. Tap two kanji to clear real Japanese words and learn every reading as you play. A calm word puzzle for kanji learners at any level.

Tap two kanji. If they form a real Japanese word, they vanish.

Nikoichi Kanji is a calm, tap-only word puzzle built around jukugo — the two-character compound words at the heart of Japanese vocabulary. Tap 学 and 校 to clear 学校 ("school"), and every correct reading appears on screen. No typing, no time limits, no complicated controls.

WHY KANJI LEARNERS LOVE IT

• Learn every reading: each time you clear a word, all of its correct readings are shown. 夫婦 can be read "fufu" and "meoto" — both count, and you learn both.
• Real vocabulary, graded by difficulty: 300 stages progress from the kanji Japanese children learn in Grade 1 all the way up to the full set of everyday joyo kanji. Great vocabulary practice at any level, from beginner to advanced.
• Collect as you play: every word you clear is saved to your in-app word book together with its readings, so you can review your growing vocabulary anytime.
• Relaxing by design: clear all the blocks to finish a stage. Stuck? Restart for free or undo a move. There is no clock and no score pressure — just you and the kanji.
• Fully offline: all 300 stages can be played without an internet connection.

HOW TO PLAY

1. Look at the board of kanji tiles.
2. Tap two tiles that form a two-character word (for example, 学 then 校).
3. The word clears, its readings appear, and the tiles above fall down. Clear the whole board to complete the stage.

Whether you are studying Japanese, brushing up on your kanji, or simply enjoy word puzzles, Nikoichi Kanji turns vocabulary practice into a quiet, satisfying game you can pick up anytime.

This app is free to play and supported by ads. Ads appear only between stages — never during play.
