This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely.
It might make the transition from a passive dictionary to an active one simpler.
It might help you practice kana-only word recognition.
It probably does neither, but bandwagons are to be jumped on.
Introducing Wordle-Kani, a fun way to play Wordle using the vocabulary you’ve already met on your journey.
Installation

Controls
The game can be started with the conveniently placed button in the navigation bar.
Currently the game accepts hepburn romaji as input. Enter confirms the word. Pressing enter after a round ended starts a new round.
Currently the game won’t check if what you’ve inputted is a valid word or not (this might change in the future). It won’t allow words shorter than 4 characters, on about level 30 this means 2000-ish items to play with.
Planned features
If all goes well, these are the features I would like to implement in this version as well
Settings, stuff like hard mode,or allowing non learned words- Daily challenge, this would be the same for everyone
- Share feature with the blocks
- Checking for actual words (might not be the best idea to limit the possible inputs to actual wk words)
Changelog
