## What is WEN?

WEN Writing helps you learn Chinese characters through handwriting, stroke-order guidance, and self-testing. Whether you’re learning your first characters or reviewing familiar ones, build a practice routine at your own pace.
PRACTICE EVERY STROKE
Watch stroke-order animations, trace characters with writing guides, and switch between brush and pen styles. Learn with pinyin and English meanings alongside each character.
EXPLORE THE CHARACTER LIBRARY
Browse characters by HSK level or search by character and pinyin. Save the characters you want to practice and return to them whenever you’re ready.
TEST YOUR MEMORY
Create a self-test using HSK characters, your saved collection, or your mistake list. Choose the characters you want to review and turn pronunciation hints on or off. Write from memory, reveal the answer, and assess your own work.
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
Keep missed characters together for focused review. Retest them and choose which learned characters to remove from your mistake list.
REVISIT YOUR PRACTICE
View your self-test history and session details to see what you’ve practiced and what still needs attention.
SHARE YOUR HANDWRITING
Turn your handwritten characters into artwork to share with others.
DESIGNED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD
Enjoy a calm, paper-inspired writing space with clear typography and layouts adapted to your screen.
