Kotoba Sagashi

-
Ninja Tattoo Dojo
PlayA free browser game. Throw shuriken at falling kanji, form a Japanese word, and watch the master tattoo it on his apprentice. Every word comes with the master's commentary.
Our Japanese-only dog food comparison site, わんこのごはん、数字でくらべる。, is also made here.
About
For about twenty years I have made word puzzles, mainly skeleton crosswords, for Japanese magazines and books.
The themes, puzzles and word data built up over those years now power my own apps. I design each app and direct the build with AI, a bit like a film director working with a crew.
Rather than chasing one big hit, I make small tools that each solve one thing well.
