Mojipittan is similar in play to the word game Scrabble. Taking turns against the computer or a human opponent, the player uses tiles with hiragana to build words, eventually building upon their opponent's titles with words of their own.

On April 28, 2004, Namco released a modified version of Mojipittan called Xenopittan in their Xenosaga supplementary game Xenosaga Freaks in Japan. Xenopittan plays like Mojipittan but features characters and unique terminology from Xenosaga.
