Trace & Practice
Guided tracing mode: each stroke is highlighted with a gray outline and a dashed centerline. A pulsing blue dot marks where to start. Follow the path to build muscle memory.
Observe the Guide
The current stroke is shown as a gray shape with a dashed center path. Start from the pulsing blue dot and follow the dashes.
Trace on Canvas
Draw your finger or mouse along the guide. Keep your stroke within the outline and match the correct direction. Use the Grid toggle for alignment help.
Check Score & Retry
Each stroke is scored instantly. Scores below 35 are auto-rejected; redraw that stroke. Tap Retry to restart the entire character anytime.

How Scoring Works
Each stroke is scored 0-100 based on two factors: path accuracy (how closely you follow the standard centerline) and direction (writing the stroke in the correct direction). Drawing in the wrong direction deducts 20 points. Your final character score is the average across all strokes. Aim for 80+ to master the character.
Quiz Yourself
Memory quiz mode: no outlines or guides are shown. Write the character purely from memory to test your recall. Mistakes and time are tracked to measure your progress.
Recall from Memory
No stroke outlines are visible. Think about the correct stroke order, then draw each stroke on the blank canvas from memory.
Stroke Order Matters
Draw strokes in the correct sequence and direction. Wrong order or reversed direction will be rejected and counted as a mistake.
Hint & Undo
Stuck? Tap Hint to reveal the next stroke outline and start point. Tap Undo to erase the last stroke and try again.
Save & Share

How Scoring Works
Each stroke is scored 0-100 by comparing your drawn path to the standard centerline. Unlike Trace mode, there are no visual guides — accuracy depends entirely on your memory. Wrong direction or stroke order counts as a mistake and rejects the stroke. The final score averages all accepted strokes. Try to achieve 80+ with zero mistakes.
