FAQ
About this quiz
Is this quiz good for complete beginners?
Yes, once you've seen most of the 46 hiragana. Every word is a simple everyday word with a picture and romaji, so you're practicing reading, not guessing vocabulary.
Will I get the same questions every time?
No. Each round draws new questions, and your browser remembers which ones you've already seen, so you work through the whole set before anything repeats. Nothing is saved on our side and there's no signup.
Where do the words come from?
They're beginner words from the free KotoNexa hiragana workbook (animals, food, family and places) plus more of the same level, so each round brings new words.
