A Japanese Wordle — often searched for as wordle nihongo or wordle in Japanese — works like the original Wordle, but you guess a word written in Japanese instead of English. That one change makes the puzzle noticeably harder: English has 26 letters, while Japanese kana has 46 basic characters in each of its two syllabaries, plus voiced marks and small characters on top of that. Ayatoki is a rōmaji-input game. If you are learning Japanese and do not want to install a Japanese keyboard, this is the family you want. If you already read kana comfortably and want a harder challenge, a kana-input game — or the Japanese-language version of Ayatoki , which has seven genre modes — will suit you…from ayatokigame.com

Players learn kanji meanings while solving familiar word puzzles. Features: - Daily puzzles using common kanji from the essential 777 list - Streak tracking to encourage regular practice - "Hacker mode" UI theme (toggle in top right) - Progressive learning -…

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
