This is really neat and underrated! If you like Wordle then this is a fun way to practice some Japanese. Functional but also beautiful. My suggestions: Maybe there could be a setting to toggle all kana to type with rather than a select few? Just to spice it up a little. Also more decks sometime would be great too, although it'll still take some time to finish the decks currently available.

Hi! Thank you so much for the warm words! I've experimented with free input but found that it got waay to hard to guess the words. Maybe with some default hints it could work. I'd love to hear your input though, if you throw me an email at david@greycastle.se perhaps I can get to pick your brain. Thanks again! / David

7/10 it's good for getting it your head. Instead of having to write it down and memorize it. I don't like the keyboard they give you, I wish there was a setting that turns it on or off, i'd rather use my japanese keyboard on my phone rather than the keyboard they give me, because I sit and look for all the right keys and that's boring to me. I also don't like the 5 games a day. but I'm biased as I like when things are free, but the Devs gotta make money somehow, so I get it.

Hi! Thank you for the feedback. I tried it with using a normal keyboard but without limiting your options there are just too many possible combinations which made it near impossible to guess the words without using the tips. I'll take this with me for future updates though. Thanks again!

Cool idea, but based on available kana, I got most right on the first try. Woukd be better with a full keyboard. I don't like that removing ads is 99¢ for 50 plays. I would pay more to remove ads permanently.

Hi Jillian! Thank you so much for the feedback. You sound like you might have a lot of Japanese experience so it might be too easy for you. I'd like to hear more if possible, I'm always open to change things. If you mail me at david@greycastle.se I can give you better followup
