掲示板 Forums - Benefits of playing kana Shiritori on Renshuu

I realise playing kana shiritori, along with doing the crosswords, has improved my spelling. Also I feel it's made me better at transcribing loanwords into katakana. Also occasionally it makes me happy when the definition appears for a word I played that I knew existed, but the meaning of which I had forgotten, so there's a kind of neat de-rusting effect.

For other Renshuu users, are there any other other benefits to playing Shiritori?

Shiritori definitely helps me recollect words that I may not use on a regular basis, ensuring that I do not forget them completely. I also find it exciting when I write a complex word without checking my spelling before submitting it (To be honest, I have had a few 'scares' when I submitted a word in Shiritori and I accidentally typed the wrong kana, so the word changed completely and became rude, lol)

Next time I play Shiritori and the letter is u I'm definitely going to play unchi!

I've had to learn a whole bunch of words starting with る lol

Didn't know many before shiritori
