- Includes voiced, semi-voiced, digraph and sokuon blocks: Blocks for sounds such as "", "", "", "" are included, enabling words like "" and "".
- Multiple identical-character blocks: Each basic hiragana appears five times (voiced/semi-voiced appear twice), allowing words with repeated characters like "" and "".
Ways to play: collecting groups, making names, matching words, fill-in-the-blank, word creation, shiritori (word chain), crossword-style play.
