Introducing Kanji Pop

Posted: 2025-04-01, Tags: games kanji
Pop kanji that fit the descriptions! Build your kanji knowledge with our latest fun kanji game.
We're very excited to announce that we've now launched our first standalone game in quite some time: Kanji Pop. In each round, you're presented with a grid of 16 kanji. You'll be given a series of descriptions, each of which will match one or more of the remaining kanji. Select the correct kanji to 'pop' it and clear it from the grid. Try to complete as many rounds as you can!
All your answers are recorded below the game board for each round, so you can easily Favorite any you want to come back to later.
In the settings area, you can choose the kanji you want to focus on - by default, the game will focus on kanji with your current usefulness / JLPT level.
You can access Kanji Pop from the PLAY menu at the top of every page, or from the links at the bottom of every page. As with all Kanshudo features, you can also just use Quick Search.
When you've played a few games, please let us know what you think!
