Kanken resource list
A compilation of resources for the 日本漢字能力検定 and adjacent kanji related topics. Compiled by the bros and sises in the kanken chat, ly guys 👨❤️💋👨
If you think that a resource / blog / website / ... should be added to this list feel free to post it and @ me (julian) in the channel (#general-forum -> kanken post on the TMW discord server) or shoot me a dm.
REGARDING ALL DISCORD FILE LINKS: if you click on a link and it says "This content is no longer available." just paste the link into discord, send the msg and click on the file in discord, dl should work then ^^
Misc stuff for all lvls:
Kanken dict - must have dict for ppl studying for kanken (converted by dict anon)
Kanken dict for yomitan
Kanken dict for mdx
Google IME dictionaries
Starting at j1k standard IME entries often don't contain the word that you're searching for - this can help:
dictionaries to install in google IME
舊字體・歷史的假名遣ひ IME stuff
Backup font
in the same vein: at some point (not neccessarily j1k/1k if your standard font is good) stuff all looks like 〼 if you don't install a good backup font
hanazono does the trick
there's also this page for checking your font coverage
(source for the font used in kanken dict at the bottom ^^)
Anki decks / questions for all levels
Anki user that has uploaded multiple decks based on the kanji.jitenon dict - for individual kanji study

kanken.jitenon - has a bunch of questions for most types up to lvl 2 - from there on out sparse
Create your own decks using:

Note on all those games
There have been reforms since the release of some (all?) of them so they might not cover all of the kanji required / might not 100% reflect the real deal
