It is not a research club at all, but a club where members bring their own games and just play them. ......

This is a series of game reviews in the style of a novella, leisurely describing the daily life of the "Tsumigame Club"!

This is the Tsumikibashi University Game Research Club. This is the club room of the Tsumikibashi University Game Research Club, or "Tsumige Club" for short.

It is not a research club at all, but a club where members bring in their own games and just play. ......

One evening. Yuma Konoshita, a first-year club member, came to the clubroom and opened the door to play games.

Good evening!

In the club room, the club leader, Sayuri Ekioka, a second-year student, and the vice-president, Sui Kirishima, a second-year student, were talking about something.

Now, a four-letter word ending in "ん"!

Let's see... ...... "Pengin"!

Nice work, Sui. How about a five-letter word ending with "n"?

How about a five-letter word? Hmmm... ...... "Taiko-ban"!

Wow, that's quite a cool word choice!

Hehe, well, it just happened to pop into my head...

(What are they both doing? ......?)

Yuma enters the room and slowly takes a seat while watching the two of them. Now the three members of the Tsumigae club are all here.

Um~, what are you doing?

Oh, Yumacchi♪ Today, we are going to play with "Mojipittan Encore," a word puzzle that Sayuri brought, so we were doing a little word training before that.


Oh, I know "Mojipittan"...it's a puzzle game to make up phrases, right?

Hmmm...! So today, I'm going to talk about how nice and deep Mojipittan is, and play "Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Encore"!

I'm pretty good at puzzles, so I'm looking forward to it!

Now, before I start talking, let's have a final training session, Sui. How about a six-letter word ending with "n"?

How about "Mojipittan"?

I see...

Mmmm, that was a blind spot. ...... But Sui, that doesn't make you the first Grand Word Master of the Tsumigame Club! If you want to be recognized, you're going to have to get a good score on the word puzzle!

What's with this "Tsumigame Club's First Grand Language Master"? It's exquisitely lame, so I don't think I want to be recognized so aggressively. ......

Oh, haha... .......

The exhilaration of creating words by placing character blocks! The database contains more than 130,000 words!

Before talking about "Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Encore," let's start with the history of the "Mojipittan" series.

Yes, please!

Mojipittan" was released for various consoles such as PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS, right?

Yes, that's right. The first in the "Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan" series was actually an arcade version.

Really? So it made its first appearance in game arcades.

Then, the first home version appeared on the PlayStation 2, followed by Game Boy Advance, PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii, and many other consoles.

So, "Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Encore" is the latest in the series, right?

Mm-hmm! This title is based on "Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Wii Deluxe" with new words and stages added.

I remember playing the Wii version with my relatives when I was little.

I remember playing the Wii version with my relatives when I was a little kid. It's a word that contains "synth" and "seat," and it's a word that can be used to create a chain! You're good, Sweety!

Let's see... ......?

Hmmm, Sayuri, you seem to have got a Mojipittan brain~! Yumacchi, let's go through it for now.

Ha, ha ....... So, Mr. Director, I actually don't know the rules of "Mojipittan" properly, so I'd like you to tell me!

That's easy for you to say! By the way, the word "rule" includes the word "roux", so you can aim for a chain!

Yeah, yeah, I totally have a Mojipittan brain!

Now let's get back to the story. The basic rule of "Character Pittan" is to select a "character block" from "Erabu-kun" on the left side of the screen and place it on an empty square to make a word with two or more letters.


If you can make a word by reading it from top to bottom or left to right, that's OK, right?

That's right. Note that you cannot place a character block in a square where no word can be formed.

I see, so it's just like a crossword puzzle... So, what is this "chain" that you keep talking about?

Nice question!

You asked so loudly!

Chain is an essential element of "Mojipittan". And "yoiuso" includes "yo (use)" and "uso (lie)!

Yes, yes.

Chain in Mojipittan means that you can say more than one word at the same time. For example, let's say you have the word "yuuchiyou". If you put the letter "shi" in the first square of the word, it becomes "shiyuuchiyou.

Yes, it does.

This completes the four words "shu (seed)," "shu (state)," "shuchi (shame)," and "shucho (chief)" all at once! In other words, it's a big chain!


Wow! Amazing!

By the way, remember that letters such as "yayuyo" and "ts" are handled not only as upper case letters but also as lower case letters.

The bigger the chain, the higher the score, so if you are aiming for a high score, the chain is a technique you must learn.

Hmmm. The best part of "Character Pittan" is the feeling of inspiration and coincidence, when you get the chain of events you were aiming for, or when you get an unexpected chain of events!

It's also interesting how words you don't even know are formed by accident.

Mm-hmm. After all, "Mojipittan Encore" contains over 130,000 words! It can be said that this game has a beneficial aspect, as you will be exposed to unfamiliar words while playing, which will naturally lead to an improvement in your vocabulary.

I'm sure "Mojipittan Encore" also includes modern words such as "2021," "Solo Camp," "Like Pi," "Pien," and "Paon," right? I'm confident that I can match Sayuri's vocabulary in that area~!

(Mmmm, I'm sorry to say, but Sui is right, I'm a bit unfamiliar with new words. ...... I'll have to play "Mojipittan" and learn it as soon as possible ......!)

Mr. Director, right off the bat, I'd like to play "Mojipittan Encore"...

Mm! By the way, "I'd like" includes "mita (sanda)" and "tai (tai)," right? Yuma, it's two chains!

Ha, ha .......

Yeah, Yumachi, let's go through it for now!

A large volume of stages await you! Try "Hitori nimo Puzzle"!

Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Encore" has two play modes: "Hitori Puzzle" and "Battle". Let's start with "Hitori Puzzle"!

Let's play "Hitori Puzzle" first!

The objective of "Hitori Puzzle" is to complete each stage by completing the conditions set for that stage, such as "Fill all the squares" or "Create 10 words with 3 or more letters. Some stages have a time limit.

There are so many stages! There are many categories such as "Practice Stage," "Easy Kids," "Beginner Stage," "Doki-Doki Doki" and "Fill-in-the-blanks!

Hmmm. There are over 800 stages in this title, ranging from beginner to advanced. Among them, there are "user stages" selected from the general public and stages created in collaboration with popular games such as "THE iDOLM@STER" and "KODOMATSU".

So, let's let Yuma try out the stages. The stage is "Ichiban" in the "Practice Stage!

Good luck, Yuma! Let your vocabulary explode!

Yes, I'll do my best! The condition for clearing the stage is "use 10 blocks" and the time limit is 5 minutes! Let's see... ...... First of all, put "A" to the left of "ichi" and go to .......

Oh~! Two "Ai" and "Aichi" in a chain.

Nice work, Yuma, to start a chain with your first move. ......

Well, next, put this one and then this one on .......

What? It's "Oiki (old tree)"!

By accident, I found a word I didn't know!

Hee~, "[Old tree] An old tree. Old tree." That's right! It's interesting and informative to see the explanation of the word I made up on the screen.

Oh, um, is the time limit still OK? ......!

Don't worry, don't worry! Calm down and solve it~!

Yuma worries, thinks, and sometimes makes one move backward as she places the character blocks one after another in the squares. And then .......

I did it! I've cleared the puzzle!

Wow, you cleared the puzzle with more than 4 minutes left! Even though it was your first time playing, you accidentally created an unfamiliar word and cleared the game with much more time left. ...... The title of "Tsumigame Club's first Grand Word Master" may go to Yuma, not Sui!

Oh, no~! I want the right to challenge for that title, too!

Sui, you surprisingly like "the first Grand Word Master of the Tsumigame Club", don't you!

Well, at first I thought it was exquisitely lame, but after a round I think I'm starting to like it. ......

Oh, haha .......

Hey, you know what? On the clear screen, it says "Get the goodies! on the clear screen, is this some kind of collection element?

Pfft, you have good intuition as usual, Sui♪ This is Mojikun's prized item, which you get when you clear a stage. You can view the collection you have acquired at any time from the "Mojikun Collection" in the menu.

This little guy is called Mojikun, isn't he? He is tiny, smiling and cute~......♪

By the way, after clearing a stage, you can look at the words you created while playing! It's quite interesting to look back and discover that you created words you didn't expect!

The first word you created is marked with a NEW mark! It makes me want to create more and more words that I haven't created yet!

Hey, I want to play "Character Pittan" too!

Hmmm..! Next, let's have Sui and Yu play "Battle"! As I don't have to tell you, the winner of the game is .......

The winner is the first Grand Word Master of the Tsumigame Club! All right, I'll do my best~!

Sui, you have become the person who wants to be the "First Grand Word Master of the Tsumigae Club. ......
