Randomly Generated 10×10 Puzzles

Every puzzle is built fresh from the word list of your chosen level. Across and Down words intersect in a new layout every single time — no two puzzles are ever the same.

All 7 Eiken Levels

Level 1, Pre-1, Level 2, Pre-2, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 are all covered. Select your target exam level and the puzzle uses only words from that level.

Instant Answer Check

Tap the Check Answers button to see your results immediately. Correct cells turn green and incorrect cells turn red, so you can see exactly what you got right and what needs more practice.

Regenerate Anytime

Finished a puzzle or want more practice? Tap Regenerate to get a brand-new crossword at the same level instantly. Keep going until every word sticks.

A New Crossword Every Time You Play

The app automatically builds a 10×10 crossword grid from the vocabulary list of your selected Eiken level, placing Across and Down words at intersecting positions. Because the layout is generated fresh every session, you can replay the same level as many times as you like without seeing the same puzzle twice. Japanese meaning clues are listed in numbered order below the grid for easy reference.
