Kanji study
Find a kanji from its parts.

How it works
01
Spot one piece
The three water drops on the left, the roof, the heart… pick the one you're sure about.
02
Add another
Pieces that lead nowhere switch off, so you can't follow a dead end.
03
Open the kanji
Meaning, readings, stroke order and the words that use it — and you can mark it “to review”.
