Creative Kanji Quiz

How did it end up like this!? The readings in this made-up kanji quiz are way too original lol

Creative Kanji Quiz

When it comes to kanji-based quizzes, a variety of ideas come to mind: quizzes on difficult-to-read kanji, fill-in-the-blank puzzles for two-character and four-character compounds, synonym and antonym quizzes, and so on.

What we’re introducing here, however, is a “creative kanji quiz.” As the name suggests, “creative kanji” involves producing original characters by combining actual kanji and the like.

There’s even a contest hosted by The Sankei Shimbun and the Shirakawa Shizuka Institute of East Asian Characters and Culture at Ritsumeikan University, so quite a few people may have tried coming up with their own creative kanji.

For a quiz, you can use creative kanji that have actually won awards, or you can intentionally use original creations devised by the quizmaster.

The latter puts the quizmaster’s sense to the test and might make things even more exciting!

A quiz that 99% of people get tricked by

These are quizzes that exploit people’s assumptions to steer them into making mistakes, starting from problems that look easy.

They test your ability to pay attention to fine details—such as wording in the question—as well as your imagination to clearly picture the situation described.

Even when a problem looks like a simple calculation, there may be hidden traps in the details, like conditions stated at the beginning of the prompt.

The more elements there are to think about, the harder it is to notice the trick, so striking the right balance in the problem itself is also key to pulling off the misdirection.
