## What is Hangul Madang?

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.

Three games

· Crossword    Pick wooden syllable tiles and fill the grid across and down
· Word search  Drag to find Korean words hidden in a grid of syllables
· Speed quiz   Match as many words to their meanings as you can in 60 seconds

Puzzles never run out. Each round picks one you have not solved yet.

One new quiz every day

· Everyone solves the same daily puzzle and earns a stamp on the calendar
· Crossword and word search take turns, one day each
· A word of the day, with its definition and pronunciation read aloud

Solved puzzles fill your shelf

· Every puzzle you finish stays on the shelf, in its own shape
· Open one to read the words and definitions again, or solve it once more
· Turn it into a picture and send it to a friend

Uncover old Korean paintings

· Each puzzle you solve reveals one piece of a painting
· Old Korean painting albums, starting with Kim Hong-do's Danwon Genre Paintings
· All released to the public by the National Museum of Korea

Decorate your own yard

· Spend the coins you earn on jars, wells, persimmon trees and more
· Keep several yards and switch between them

What makes it different

· Tap syllable tiles. No typing, so no "that IS a word" arguments
· No hearts, no lives, no penalty for a wrong guess
· Works offline. No login needed

Words and definitions come from the Korean Basic Dictionary by the National Institute
of Korean Language (CC BY-SA 2.0 KR). Paintings are from the National Museum of Korea
under Korea Open Government License Type 1.
