Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the game to exclude individual strokes and single-stroke radicals from the character similarity search. I thought it would be interesting to drill all the way down to individual strokes, but it more often than not causes confusion and reveals too much of the target characters.

It's using simplified characters, but I'm planning to add a mode for traditional. The aim is to guess the word using the fewest steps by tapping the characters at the top.

Hey, thanks so much for the thorough review! I'll definitely put some thought into making the game harder and less down to chance, maybe with different difficulty levels.

On ren2 vs shu4, there are some characters/components that have decompositions missing in the Make Me a Hanzi database unfortunately. I think this may be one of those cases, or it's a bug. Will look into it. Thanks again!

Tap on a character to reveal the strokes, radicals and components it has in common with the character you're trying to guess.This was designed mainly for learners but I'm curious to hear from fluent hanzi readers whether the game is too easy.The vocabulary is from the Chinese Vocab List project [1]. Character graphics and data are sourced from Make me a Hanzi [2].There are 95 pre generated...
