Bubbles x letters! Create words by flying hiragana! - Fly the first hiragana and attach it to the hiragana at the landing point to create the given word. - When you fly a hiragana, the number of hiragana you can fly decreases by one. - When you create the given word, your score will be increased by the number you have created. - While paying attention to the number you can fly, create the target number of given words and aim to clear the level! How to play - Fly the hiragana in the middle upwards. - Swipe or tap! - When a word is created from the glued parts, the ones you have created will disappear. - It feels good when a lot of them disappear! - Aim to fly where you can create the given word! - If you feel like you're having trouble making it, try "shuffle"! - Aim to clear all stages!
