Read the idiom, then pick the next one that starts with its last character. Build the longest chain you can!
成语 (chéngyǔ) are four-character idioms packed with history and imagery. This game chains them: the next idiom must begin with the last character of the previous one. It is a fun way to expand your idiom vocabulary and notice how characters connect across words.
Want more pressure? Try Idiom Chain 2 — the same chain with a 15-second clock. Or learn the building blocks first in the Radicals & Meaning game.
What is a 成语? A chéngyǔ is a traditional four-character Chinese idiom, often drawn from classical texts.
What if no idiom fits? The game automatically starts a fresh chain, so you never get stuck.
