We are glad to announce the new addition to our Chinese tools: Chinese Maze Generator. This tool allows you to create a printable PDF maze using a Chinese or Pinyin sentence.

Settings:

• Input Words: input the Chinese/Pinyin sentence you would like to use as a maze path.
  You can also use the Convert to Pinyin function below the textbox to convert Chinese into Pinyin syllables.
  If you would like to use more than one character in the maze cell, you can use | as separator. See case 2 below for an example.
  Note: For better appearance, the length should be more than 6 charters and less than 60 characters.
  Spaces and punctuations in the sentence will be auto ignored.
• Fillers: The filler letters allow you to pick the letters that fill in gaps. This textbox is optional, if leave blank, we will use randomly generated characters.
  You can use this field to adjust the maze difficulty. For example, input the same characters as the "Input Words" field will make the maze more difficult to play.
• Instructions: Instructions shown on the generated worksheet.
• Maze Type: If you are generating a Chinese character or Pinyin maze.
