Extract

Mnemonic

Your fingers give you a good reason to extract things. You extract juice from fruits, oil from seeds, and coffee from beans. Why? Because you have fingers! That's your reason.

Hints

Imagine having fingers that work like a magic wand of extraction. With a flick of your fingers, you could extract any radical out of a kanji too. How could these special fingers not be a reason for you to extract? With these fingers, you can't stop extracting!

Mnemonic

Your magic fingers can even extract the essence out of living things, so you decide to extract some from Chewbacca (ちゅう). You always thought a nice Chewbacca extract could take your cookies to the next level. It'll help offset the sweetness and make them extra chewy (or chewbacca-y!).

Hints

Taste that chewy goodness in every bite. All you need is a dash of Chewbacca extract.
