This update introduces a new Chinese character solitaire puzzle mode.

Players must find solutions among multiple columns of stacked Chinese character component cards. Only the exposed card at the top of each column can be moved. A component with fewer strokes may only be placed on a component with exactly one additional stroke.

Each puzzle contains two target Chinese characters. Observe the layout, rearrange the cards, clear obstacles, and move the correct radicals and components into the target columns in sequence to reconstruct each character.

New Gameplay Features

  • More than 300 Chinese character components and over 3,000 characters

  • Two target characters in each puzzle

  • Move and stack components according to stroke count

  • Solve puzzles through observation, planning, decomposition, and recombination

  • Undo previous moves

  • Generate a new puzzle when needed

  • No time limits or score pressure

  • Increasingly complex characters and card layouts as you progress

This update combines solitaire-style card movement with Chinese character construction, helping players explore stroke patterns, radical structures, and relationships between character forms through puzzle-solving.
