Enjoy brain training for free! ◆Five types of puzzles◆ Kanji Nankuro, Skeleton, Bonanza, Shiritori, White Nankuro. All puzzles are popular kanji games where you fill in the squares on the board with kanji characters. The rules differ slightly, providing a variety of mental exercises. White Nankuro, in particular, starts without any black squares, making it ideal for brain training. You can start with any of the five puzzles. Try the one that interests you most. *Kanji Nankuro differs from crosswords where you fill in letters using hints; instead, you fill in letters or words according to the numbers written in the squares. That's why it's called a Number Crossword (or "Nankuro" for short) * ◆How to Play◆ (Kanji Nankuro, Skeleton, Bonanza) - White squares have numbers written on them, and the same kanji character goes in the white squares with the same number. - Touching a square turns all the squares with the same number pink. - Select the answer from the kanji list. - The selected kanji character goes in all the pink squares. - The characters, when read from top to bottom and left to right, form a meaningful word. - The game is cleared when all the white squares on the board are filled with kanji. (Shiritori) - The operation is the same as Kanji Nankuro. - Double squares form a single compound word, and the game progresses clockwise. Pay attention to the direction in which you read the compound word. (White Nankuro) - The operation is the same as Kanji Nankuro, but you start on a completely white board with no black squares. - Numbers are also assigned to the black squares, so there are black squares in the kanji list. * Once you've found the location of the black squares, select them from the kanji list. Enjoy this unique kanji crossword puzzle! ◆9000 Puzzles◆ A total of 9000 puzzles across five different types. Enjoy this massive volume completely free of charge.
