Aksharit is a word game for Indian languages, developed and marketed by MadRat Games Pvt. Ltd. It is based on the Hindi language.[1] and loosely inspired by crossword puzzles, but is purportedly designed to have specific pedagogical utility for Hindi language learning. Aksharit is used in 3,000 schools throughout India and has been used by over 300,000 children. It is also available in 10 other major Indian languages, as well as in digital form on Nokia's Symbian3 platform and on Intel AppUp. It has been a recipient of the Manthan Award and has been recognized at conferences such as TechSparks and INKtalks.[2]
