Korean Word Chain - AI·Ranking

A word that nothing in the dictionary can follow: in Korean word chain (kkeunmal-itgi), that's a "hanbang". In the app it's called a finisher. This is a Korean word chain game about finding them. ■ Please note: you play in Korean You type every word in Hangul, so you'll need a Korean keyboard. Menus are available in English. It's made for people who are learning Korean or already know it. ■ Built on Urimalsaem Play with about 426,000 nouns from Urimalsaem, the open dictionary of the National Institute of Korean Language, so a word you know is rarely missing. New words, regional words and technical terms all count. The initial-sound rule (dueum beopchik) follows official Korean spelling (락→낙, 력→역). ■ Every rejected word comes with a reason A verb, an onomatopoeic or mimetic word, a word root, a word with no part of speech, or one already played: the game tells you why. Tap "Look it up in Urimalsaem" to check it right away. Report words the dictionary is missing, and the app will let you know when a later dictionary adds them. ■ Only a finisher wins The AI moves first. It knows the whole dictionary, so it always answers unless you play a finisher. Now and then it hands you a word ending in a syllable that opens up a finisher. Spotting that moment is the skill. ■ Three modes • Normal: block the AI with a finisher to win. • Kungkungtta: 3-syllable words only. • Endless: when the AI gets stuck, you break through and keep going. Your record is the number of words you chain. ■ Battle level Each win in Normal mode raises your level by one. It never goes down. The AI gets stronger as your level rises. ■ Finisher alert and finisher reveal • Alert: switch it on and, for the rest of that round, you're told whenever your turn allows a finisher. It doesn't tell you the word. • Reveal: once per round, it puts a winning finisher into the input box. If there's none this turn, you get a word you can keep going with. New installs start with 5 alerts and 5 reveals for free. After that, you use stars. ■ Stars Spend them on hints (one common word), continues (take back a wrong word), alerts and reveals. ■ Your avatar Choose male or female. As your battle level rises, your avatar's look changes too. ■ Vocabulary level Every word you play earns XP and raises your vocabulary level. ■ Finisher album Over 800 finishers, grouped by last syllable. Win with one to stamp it. ■ Rankings and saved progress Sign in with Play Games to join the rankings: weekly score, win points, Endless record, total score and battle level.
