About

Build the character before you memorize it.

Hanzi Forge is an independent learning site for people studying Chinese as a second language. The first game teaches characters by asking learners to assemble them from meaningful parts, then follow those parts into examples and stroke practice.

字

Characters as structures

Lessons start with components, radicals, and visual clues so learners see how a character is put together.

手

Practice, then study

The site opens with a playable challenge, then connects each result to detail pages, examples, and stroke order.

日

Small daily loops

Daily puzzles and beginner trails are designed for short sessions on phone or desktop.

Current stage

Hanzi Forge is still early. The first public direction is a focused Chinese character game site for overseas learners, starting with a curated beginner character set instead of a huge dictionary.
