How to Play
Guess a Korean word in 6 jamo, within 6 tries. A new word appears every day at midnight KST. You guess at the jamo level (ㄱ, ㅏ, ㄴ…) rather than full syllables, so you work directly with the building blocks of Hangul.
Jamo breakdown
ㅇ · ㅏ · ㄴ · ㄴ · ㅕ · ㅇ
What the tile colors mean
- Teal — correct jamo in the correct position.ㄱ
- Orange — jamo is in the answer, but in a different position.ㅏ
- Ink — jamo is not in the answer.ㅁ
Input flow
Tapping a jamo key fills one cell at a time in the current row. While you're still typing, the cells stay neutral gray with no color feedback, and your attempt count is not yet spent. Once all six cells are filled, press the 'Enter' button to commit the guess: each jamo is then colored teal, orange, or ink, your attempt counter ticks down by one, and the next row becomes active. In short, you only get color feedback after pressing 'Enter'.
Delete rule
The 'Delete' button (or Backspace on a keyboard) removes the last jamo from the row you're currently typing — one jamo per press. Submitted guesses (rows that are already colored) cannot be edited. If the current row is empty, pressing delete does nothing.
Keyboard
One key inputs one jamo. Tense consonants (ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ) and compound vowels (ㅒ, ㅖ) each have their own dedicated key — there is no Shift toggle.
Tries
You get 6 attempts. A new puzzle is published every day at midnight Korea Standard Time (KST).
Tips
- Start with high-frequency jamo. Letters like ㅇ, ㄴ, ㄱ, ㅏ, ㅣ, ㅡ, and ㅗ show up often in Korean, so leading with them on your first guess tends to surface a lot of information.
- Pay attention to batchim (final consonant) slots. In a 6-jamo word, the even-indexed cells (2nd, 4th, 6th) often land on a final consonant or a vowel. Where teal or orange jamo appear can hint at whether a letter is acting as an initial or a final consonant.
- Narrow down where orange jamo belong. An orange tile means that jamo is in the answer but in a different cell — so it has to live somewhere else. Pinning down which cell that is, with later guesses, is the heart of the puzzle.
- Don't forget that jamo can repeat. The same jamo can appear two or more times in a single word — for example, '안녕' contains ㅇ twice. When the color pattern looks contradictory, suspect a repeat.
