My Senpai: Japanese Crossword

Learn JLPT N5 to N1 vocabulary with hiragana crossword puzzles. Type in romaji.

Practice Japanese vocabulary with real crossword puzzles. No flashcards, just gameplay.

My Senpai is a hiragana crossword game designed around the JLPT vocabulary lists, covering everything from N5 basics to N1 advanced words. Instead of running through the same flashcard decks, you solve clues to fill in the grid. This helps you remember what words mean and exactly how they are spelled.

TYPE IN ROMAJI
You don't need to install a Japanese keyboard. Just type using the English alphabet (like typing "ka" for か), and the app automatically converts it to hiragana. A quick-reference romaji chart is also included if you ever forget a character.

JLPT N5 TO N1 VOCABULARY
Pick your current study level and play puzzles generated from official JLPT word lists. Work your way up from basic N5 greetings to complex N1 terms across more than 300 different puzzles.

CLASSIC CROSSWORD GAMEPLAY
It plays exactly like a standard newspaper crossword, but built for Japanese learners. If you get stuck on a difficult word, you can use hints to reveal a single character or check your current answers without spoiling the rest of the grid.
