Let’s capture the features of the characters and try a brain teaser! This is a wordplay puzzle using the name “Taro.” The characters for “Taro” are reversed and have a striped pattern.

The hints are the reversed “Taro” and the stripes.

If I also tell you it’s related to a folktale, many of you might get it right.

The answer is “Urashima Taro.” Since “Taro” is flipped and has stripes (shima), it makes sense.

It’s a folktale long loved in Japan.

Let's use the hints to figure out the answer! This is a word puzzle using the character for 'sky' (空).

The simple character 空 turns blue, and its corners are rounded off.

These two points are your clues! The time limit is 30 seconds.

If having a time limit makes it hard to think carefully, try removing the limit and giving it a go.

The answer is “a clear, blue sky.” It’s a clever and funny wordplay puzzle where a single character can express a whole scene.

Witty characters using the kanji for ‘insect’

Let's think flexibly! Here's a wordplay puzzle using the character for 'insect' (虫).

The character 虫 is shown as if it has fallen over—what does that represent? The hint is to focus on the fact that it’s “an insect” and that it’s fallen.

If you consider whether the action “to fall over” (korobu) can be expressed with a different word, you might reach the answer.

The answer is “ladybug” (tentōmushi).

That’s because “to fall over” (korobu) can be rephrased as “転倒” (tentō), so we get “テントウ虫” (tentōmushi, ladybug).

It’s one of those puzzles that makes you say, “Ah, I see!”

It’s a game where you look at letters arranged in unusual shapes or patterns and think about what they represent.

You search for what feels off about the displayed word and unravel it, which leads you to the answer.

If you can’t come up with the answer from the puzzle alone, you can gradually reveal hints and enjoy the feeling of getting closer.

Asking players to find alternative expressions in their heads or expand images from the letters helps stimulate the brain.

Let's focus on each character's distinctive features and think! Here's a wordplay puzzle using the characters “り,” “う,” and “ん.” You can see a blue “り,” a black “う,” and an “ん” that has fallen over.

There’s not much uniformity, so many people might need time to reach the answer.

The hints are that it’s a phrase describing a dangerous act, and that in addition to the blue “ri,” the “n” has toppled over.

The answer is “あおり運転” (aggressive driving/road rage tailgating).

Once you hear it, you think, “Oh, that’s what it means!”
