Kanji Blitz

Learn kanji fast while having fun.

Kanji Blitz turns learning Japanese kanji into a game. Every round takes about a minute: draw the kanji stroke by stroke, type its readings in kana or romaji, and use it in a real word. Win coins, build streaks and unlock more kanji.

WHY IT WORKS
• One-minute tests: draw it, read it, use it in a word. Stroke order is checked as you write.
• Surprise exams: every few minutes an exam of four stages pops up (draw a kanji, then three multiple-choice questions about meanings, kanji and readings). The more kanji you unlock, the more you can be asked about, and every failed stage costs coins. It keeps you from forgetting what you learned.
• Read before you test: a new kanji first opens its study page with an animated stroke-order player, every reading with romaji and real example words.
• Mnemonics: short, silly stories that cover every reading of a kanji. Send your own idea from inside the app and the best ones are added for everyone.
• Achievements, coins and streaks: 50 achievements, a streak flame for every kanji, and a golden gate that sometimes drifts across the screen.
• Four difficulties, from relaxed to Insane, with different stakes.

ALL THE JLPT KANJI
1,964 kanji from JLPT N5 to N1: 80 at N5, 166 at N4, 367 at N3, 367 at N2 and 984 at N1. N5 is open from the start. Master kanji and spend coins to open the next level.

BUILT FOR BEGINNERS TOO
Every reading is shown in kana and in romaji, and you can answer in either, so you do not need to know hiragana and katakana yet.

NO ADS
No ads and no tracking. Your progress stays on your device.
