Kanagram is an educational game that creates anagrams, re-assortment of letters in a word, and the user needs to guess what the original word is. It is licensed under the GNU Public License v2, and it is part of the Kde.edu package, and the user interface is designed to be approachable even by very young children. There is no time limit or limitations at attempts, and a hint system is built in.<br>
The world list for Kanagram is user editable, with several default word lists included. A vocabularly editor is included, and the user can download other word lists or distribute their created word lists via the KNewStuff service.

|Step 8 - Regional language Vocabularies can be created using Vocabulary Editor on Kanagram by clicking on Configure Kanagram -> Vocabularies. Currently its not working with non-simple words. we need to use simple words only. It may get solved in future upgrades.
|Step 7 - Creating our own vocabulary list.
You can create vocabulary lists for new categories that you can create on Kanagram, such as 'spices' or 'Telangana districts' etc. You can also add new members to existing categories. For instance, to the existing category of 'Fruits' you can add fruits which are not already listed.
|Step 8 - Kanagram also supports Indian languages. You can create categories and word lists within a category. You can also provide 'hints' for each word.
Currently the local language functionality is not working with complex words which are peculiar to Indian languages (like joint words). We need to use Kanagram for creating simple words in Telugu or other Indian languages. This issue may get solved in future upgrades of Kanagram.
