Vocabulary building is one of the components of language learning. Kanagram is a software application in which you can create word lists for defined categories, which will presented in a jumbled form for the player to arrange into the desired words. You can build word lists in any language, though currently in Indian languages, you can use only simple letters and not letter combinations (ottaksharas).  The tool allows you to configure word lists for any given category. You can provide a hint for each word also. For instance you could define a category - 'Rivers of Karnataka' and give Tunga, Bhadra, Netravati, Krishna, Kaveri, Bhima as the words for this category. For each word you can give a hint or clue, for e.g. 'Source in Kodagu district' for Kaveri. When you 'play' Kanagram, you will select a category. If you select 'Rivers of Karnataka', you will get jumbled words, one at a time, and you need to guess the word. This word thus builds the vocabulary of students in an enjoyable manner. 'Unjumbling' the word is a creative exercise, making students familiar with anagrams.

Kanagram allows word lists to be setup in other languages also. So you can set simple word lists in Kannada as well. (Currently Kanagram allows only simple Telugu words, complex/compound letters are not supported).  

Vocabulary building is an important language competency. Associating words by class/category (such as rivers of India) is also a language competency. This application can also be used to group synonyms for a word.

The student can unjumble jumbled words to identify the answer. 'Unjumbling' the word is a creative exercise, making students familiar with anagrams.
