In this project, we aimed at developping a support tool of Kanji learning, which is available to access via internet. We have analyzed the structure of Kanji in the JIS norm, and made the data-base table of radical-combination of Kanji. Based on the table, we consider some factors affecting the level of difficulty in a learning-assistance game "Do Now", which is designed to focus the learner's attention on the role of radicals in Kanji characters. In particular we differentiate "characteristics of radicals" from "characteristics of arrangements of radicals", and stress that both aspects are important in controlling the level of difficulty in "Do Now". Some other factors for adjusting the level of difficulty in the game are also discussed.
