Hangul Alchemy: Word Puzzle — Mix Hangul letters into syllables, then syllables into real Korean words, and fill your collection book. Free on Google Play, with ads. The app is in Korean only. On Toss, play it inside FDK Daily Quiz.

About the Game

It takes the classic alchemy game, where you mix elements to discover new ones, and plays it with the Korean alphabet. You begin with six consonants (ㄱ ㄴ ㄹ ㅁ ㅅ ㅇ), six vowels (ㅏ ㅓ ㅗ ㅜ ㅡ ㅣ) and a single stroke. Add a stroke to ㄱ and you get ㅋ, mix ㄱ with ㅏ and you get 가, and mix 이 with 슬 to find the word 이슬 (dew). Every word in the book is a real everyday Korean word.

How to Play

Tap two pieces in turn and they mix on the workbench. You can also drag a piece onto another one
Letters with letters: add a stroke to make new consonants, such as ㄴ to ㄷ to ㅌ or ㅅ to ㅈ to ㅊ. Two of the same consonant make a double consonant, two vowels make a compound vowel, and two final consonants make a double final
A consonant plus a vowel makes a syllable without a final consonant, and adding one more consonant gives it a final
Two syllables make a two-syllable word. For a three-syllable word, mix a third syllable into the first two, which you keep as a fragment
A mix that makes nothing still counts as one combination. Stuck? A hint shows one piece for the next step, and tapping it again shows the other
