放課後の教室、黒板にはチョークで書かれた「へん」と「つくり」の札。亻に木を寄せれば「休」、氵に毎で「海」。「ピタ漢字」は、札を2枚ずつくっつけて、黒板の札をひとつ残らず漢字に変えていく板書パズルです。 むずかしいのは、最後の1枚まで使い切ること。日と日で「昌」が作れても、そのせいで残りの札が組めなくなるなら、その一手は受け付けられません。黒板全体を見わたして、組み合わせを考えます。 ■ 3つの遊び方 ・今日の一問: 毎日0時に、全国のみんなと同じ黒板が1枚。時間制限なし。連続日数が伸び、結果は答えを明かさずに共有できます。過去7日ぶんはおさらいできます ・じっくり: 一年生から六年生、中学生、はかせまで、学年別の160問。時間制限なしで、ミスなし・ヒントなしなら花まる3つ ・タイムアタック: 60秒から始まり、札は6枚から16枚へ。黒板をつかいきるたびに時間が回復します。得点で上がる称号は10段階 ■ 漢字図鑑 ・つくった漢字は図鑑にたまります。収録は553字。小学校で習う漢字310字と、中学校以降の常用漢字が中心です ・図鑑では読みと、どの札とどの札でできているかを見返せます ■ 気軽に遊ぶために ・はじめての方は、3問の練習から始まります ・どの黒板も必ず全部つかいきれるように作っています ・迷ったらヒント。くっつく2枚が光ります ・1回1〜3分。すきま時間の頭の体操に ■ 広告について ・画面下の広告と、区切りに表示される広告があります ・ヒントの追加とタイムアタックのつづきは、動画広告を見ると使えます(見るかどうかは選べます)

Verdict

The call
