## Description

Tap the squares in the order the return marks tell you to. Each puzzle takes seconds to solve — and the more you play, the more classical Chinese (kanbun) you can actually read.

■ Four ways to play
• Order Puzzle: plain squares and marks only. Starts with the simplest mark and opens up through the full set as you go
• Kanbun Puzzle: put the characters in reading order, then see the reading and its meaning
• Mark Placement: read the sentence first, then work out where each mark goes — the puzzle in reverse
• Read Kanbun: browse well-known passages at your own pace, no pressure

■ Built to keep you playing
• New mark types unlock gradually as you progress
• A wrong tap tells you exactly which character was out of place
• Undo any tap instantly; stuck players can watch a short video for one hint

■ Along the way, you learn to read kanbun
• Passages are drawn from public-domain classical texts, including the Analects
• Solve one, and you get its full reading and a plain-language explanation of what it means

■ Easy to use
• Works entirely on your device, no connection needed

■ Premium plan (one-time purchase)
• Ads removed
• All chapters unlocked

■ Good for
• A quick mental warm-up in a spare five minutes
• Getting return-mark rules to stick before a test
• Actually reading famous classical passages, not just memorizing them
