About
I came up with the Kanji Wordsearch idea several years ago after brainstorming a number of games to practice kanji in a more engaging way than the usual flashcard drills.
So, got any great ideas for the app? Good data to go in it? Do you have amazing coding skills in Flex, or design skills to make the game even better? Contact me via the feedback page.

Of course, this and many other apps out there would not be possible without the use of the EDICT and KANJIDIC data thanks to Jim Breen and all the other contributors! Here is some background and links to the data:
The KANJIDIC file is a Japanese kanji dictionary file and the EDICT file is a Japanese/English Dictionary file, both maintained and copyrighted by the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group (EDRDG) at Monash University in Australia. Information about the EDRDG can be obtained at their website: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edrdg.
The KANJIDIC file contains over 6,000 entries for individual kanji characters. Each character entry contains encoding, index and reference information, on and kun readings, and English meanings for that character. Full documentation describing the history, format, and general usage of the file can be obtained at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanjidic.html.
The EDICT file contains over 100,000 entries representing Japanese compound words and kana loanwords. Each entry contains the characters, reading, and English meaning for that compound or loanword. Full documentation describing the history, format, and general usage of the file can be obtained at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict.html.
