    body: The aim is for active recall, in small doses, against the content you're already studying. Listening practice that asks you to write what you heard. Kana and kanji drills against the readings you've already met. The shape of each new game is decided by what would actually help; the bar is "would I use this myself".

    items:
      - question: Do the games work offline?
        answer: Yes. The games run against the dictionary on your device, so they don't need the network.
      - question: Can I pick which words appear?
        answer: Random Word filters by JLPT level. Word Search uses the same vocabulary range. More targeted selection (such as drawing from a specific word list) is on the list of things to add.
      - question: Will my progress be tracked?
        answer: Not at the moment. The games are designed to be picked up and put down, not turned into another streak to maintain. If progress tracking would help your practice, get in touch.
