In the standard puzzle game mode, a selection of Japanese character on tiles are piled up on the left side of the screen. Select one and place it on an appropriate space on the gameboard to create words and phrases. If your positioning is accepted, the tile is bolted onto the board and a swirl of activity occurs. If your word creation attempt is rejected, an "X" appears along with an unfriendly buzzer. When a puzzle is completed, the boxy golden colored creatures from the game cover bound around in a festival of celebratory madness.

Although Japanese language comprehension skills are recommended in order to fully enjoy Mojipittan, players may also complete the puzzles by trial and error and perhaps even learn a little Japanese along the way. Mojipittan is also a fun and useful teaching tool for students who are learning Japanese.

NCS Game Notes
* Once words are created in a puzzle board, players may review them by pressing the "SQUARE" button. A listing of assembled words appear on the left side of the screen while a virtual dictionary sits on the right side. To find the meaning of a word, highlight it and the definition appears.

* If you've made a mistake and need to recall a tile from the playfield, press the "TRIANGLE" button to place it back in the tile retainer on the left side of the screen.
