- You get 100 when no mistake made and no hint used.
- 'Clear' does not affect maximum score, you can still get max score after several tries
- 'Clear' reduces hints and allowed mistakes on the next try. Hints and mistakes will affect the score more.
-  The initial number of hint and mistakes allowed depends on the question (Kanji).
- No penalty to skip question.
- There is a limit on the number of times to skip question. This limit reset on level completed.
- Kanji is learned only if 3 stars obtained.

You draw an image, Kotoba will guess what it is.
- 5 best guesses are listed on the drop-down box.
- You can select the correct item, and click the button to tell her the correct answer. She will learn it and improve future guessing (this feature has been not been completed yet).

**notes**
- This mode may not work on some phone.
- The accuracy also depends on device performance (model, RAM during running). The model use threads to process drawing data within an allocated time. The more powerful your phone is, the more processing done for prediction.
