Kana Chain Maze

Trace Japanese word chains

$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A calm Japanese word-chain puzzle with 120 stages, picture cues, pronunciation, and a growing word book for children and beginners. Turn Japanese word learning into a path-finding game. Kana Chain Maze asks you to trace a route through picture cards. The last sound of each Japanese word must match the first sound of the next—just like shiritori. Every correct step reinforces hiragana, useful vocabulary, attention, and planning. • 120 hand-checked stages in six themes • Three difficulty levels with picture-first support • Tap to hear each Japanese word • Hints that explain the next sound • A word book for meanings and mastered words • A calm daily challenge with no time pressure Built for children and beginning learners, the interface uses large targets, clear feedback, adjustable text, and optional reduced motion. Core play works offline. There are no ads, accounts, social features, or third-party analytics. Progress stays on the device unless you enable the platform’s private cloud backup. You can also export or import a common ZIP/JSON/CSV backup. Pay once. No subscriptions or extra in-app purchases.
