What it does

YOMI is a daily game for learning Japanese hiragana, in the spirit of Wordle: one new word a day, six tries, and a spoiler-free result you can share. You spell each word on the Japanese 五十音 keyboard (with romaji labels), and after solving you get the reading, meaning, and an example sentence. Free, no login, no ads — installable as a PWA.

A daily hiragana word game for Japanese learners. Spell one new word a day on the fifty-sounds keyboard, build a streak, and share your spoiler-free result.
