Ikkaku Ichie: Kanji Puzzle

Every kanji is built from smaller parts. 口 and 木 make 困. 人 and 木 make 休. Put 木 next to 木 and you get 林 — add one more and it becomes a forest, 森.

Ikkaku Ichie is a calm puzzle about finding those combinations yourself.

HOW TO PLAY • Drag parts from the tray into the frame • Place them side by side, top and bottom, or one inside the other • If they form a real kanji, they combine • Kanji you make become new parts you can build with • Stages have no timer and no penalty for mistakes

WHAT'S INSIDE • 20 stages with 155 kanji to find, including 4 challenge stages • Bonus kanji hidden in every stage — real kanji that aren't on the list • A Kanji Book that collects up to 320 kanji • "Build from meaning": 213 short puzzles where you build a kanji from its English meaning • Endless mode: a new board every day

LEARN AS YOU PLAY Tap any kanji or part to open its card: • English meaning • On and kun readings in romaji • Common words with translations • A simple example sentence in Japanese, with romaji and English

No Japanese knowledge is needed to start. The game works fully in English, and you can switch to Japanese at any time in Settings.

FRIENDLY TO EVERYONE • Three text sizes • Plays fully offline • No account needed

FREE TO PLAY The game is free and supported by ads. When you run out of hint coins, you can choose to watch a short video for one more coin. A full-screen ad also appears now and then after you close a star message. A one-time "Remove ads" purchase turns off the full-screen ads, and gives you that extra coin without a video.
