"May fifth is a Thursday."

How does it let you write it yourself, it give me words to put in instead.

The app version provides a word bank; the computer version requires you to write it.

The app version also has the option to write it instead of using the word bank

[Raijania]

i wrote mokuyoubi in kanji and it marked it as wrong

[zacharylumley]

Actually the preferred format is YYYY/MM/DD (or just MM/DD).
