Hangeul Crossword is a daily 7×7 Korean crossword designed to be solved in a few minutes — the length of a coffee break.

■ Features

· Weekly and monthly challenges to keep your streak alive
· 25 Game Center achievements — from your first solve to a full-year run

■ How to play
· Tap a cell to pick an Across clue; tap again to switch to Down
· Drag horizontally for Across, vertically for Down, to jump directly
· Solve without hints for a perfect three-star finish
· Reward hints earned by watching a short ad don't reduce your stars
· Once all three regular hints are used, the reward-hint cap grows by 2

■ Star scoring
· Start with 3 stars, minimum 1 star guaranteed on a solve
· Regular hints: −1 star for the first, −2 for the second, no penalty after
· Mistakes don't affect stars — try as many times as you like

■ Ads · purchases
· Bottom banner ads · full-screen ad on completion
· "Remove Ads" one-time in-app purchase hides banner and interstitial ads
