Read, Write and Remember Kanji.

The puzzles in this book focus on the 200 kanji that are taught in the fourth year of compulsory education in Japan.

In addition to 100 puzzles and their solutions, the book contains clearly set out examples for each of the kanji, with on and kun readings for each character. There are also detailed word lists which give examples of at least 400 commonly used words, with readings in hiragana and translations in English.

The rules are simple:

- A kanji can be used only once in each row

- A kanji can be used only once in each column

- A kanji can be used only once in each small 3 x 3 block
