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.

Characters as structures

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

Practice, then study

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

Petites boucles quotidiennes

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.
