Kandoku は、世界中で親しまれる数独(ナンプレ) を「臨兵闘者皆陣烈在前」だけで解く、まったく新しくはない知的パズルです。 ◆ ルールは数独そのまま 9×9 の盤面に行・列・3×3 ブロックに同じ漢字が重複しないよう埋めればクリア。 ◆ 直感を刺激する“文字”の美学 数字ではなく臨兵闘者皆陣烈在前を眺めることで、脳のどこかの野とその近くの野を同時に活性化しそう。普段とは異なる思考回路が開くことはありません。 ◆ シンプル is ベスト 広告以外の課金要素ゼロ オフライン対応・ユーザ登録不要 ◆ こんな方におすすめ 通勤・通学の 5 分で頭をリセットしたい 数独は解き飽きたが、新鮮味が欲しい
