Hangul Madang: three Korean word games in one app
Three Korean word games in one app: crossword, word search and a 60-second quiz. Every clue is a dictionary definition from the National Institute of Korean Language, shown in your language.
Free Play keeps going, and each round picks a puzzle you have not solved yet. There is also one new quiz every day that everyone solves together, and a word of the day with its definition and pronunciation read aloud.
How to play
You tap syllable tiles instead of typing, so there is never an argument about what counts as a word. A wrong answer costs nothing: no hearts, no lives, no penalty.
Crossword and word search take turns as the daily quiz, one day each.
