Gosen (語戦)

Challenge another player to a battle of Japanese words. Gosen (語戦) is a turn-based word game played entirely with hiragana. Place tiles on the board to create connected words, claim bonus squares and build the highest score before the game ends. Transform eligible tiles using small kana or dakuten to uncover new possibilities. Every move can extend an existing word, create crossings and turn a carefully placed tile into a high-scoring play. PLAY ONLINE Find an opponent through matchmaking or invite a specific player by username. Gosen’s turn-based format lets you play at your own pace, while notifications let you know when it is your turn. BUILD YOUR SCORE Use double- and triple-letter squares to increase individual tile values. Double- and triple-word squares can transform a well-planned word into a decisive move. MANAGE YOUR TILES Exchange unwanted tiles, pass when no useful move is available or resign a game you cannot finish. Points from tiles remaining on each rack are adjusted when the game ends.
