오늘의 단어 맞추기 (K-Calculator)
A Korean Wordle where you spell the day's word one consonant and vowel at a time.
Every day: One Korean word a day, dated and the same for every player, guessed by filling five cells with consonants and vowels; solvers are ranked on a daily leaderboard. New puzzle: A new word each day. The site is Korean, so the day almost certainly turns over at midnight Korea Standard Time (KST)..
오늘의 단어 맞추기 (Guess Today's Word) is a Korean take on Wordle on the K-Calculator site. You fill five cells with Hangul consonants and vowels and the colours tell you which jamo are right, misplaced or absent. Everyone gets the same dated word, and those who solve it go on a daily ranking.
About 오늘의 단어 맞추기 (K-Calculator)
오늘의 단어 맞추기 is one of a handful of small games on K-Calculator, a Korean site best known for salary, tax and date calculators. The site credits HWANKOON as its maker. The game is a Wordle in Korean, with the date of the day's word shown at the top of the board.
Instead of typing whole syllable blocks, you break the word into its jamo and type them into five cells. After each try, green marks a consonant or vowel in the right cell, yellow one that is in the word but elsewhere, and grey one that is not in it. You get one go at the day's word, and if you solve it you join that day's ranking, ordered by fewest tries and then by speed.
Splitting syllables into consonants and vowels is what sets it apart: guessing whole blocks would leave too many possibilities for the colours to help, while single jamo let you narrow the sounds down cell by cell. An unlimited mode lets you choose the number of cells and tries for extra practice without touching the ranking. It suits Korean speakers and learners who want a short daily word puzzle.
How to play 오늘의 단어 맞추기 (K-Calculator)
- Open the game and start today's word, shown with today's date.
- Type Korean consonants and vowels into the five cells to make a guess.
- Read the colours: green is the right jamo in the right cell, yellow is in the word but elsewhere, grey is not in the word.
- Use the clues to refine each guess until all cells are green.
- Solve it in as few tries as you can to place higher on the day's ranking.
Tips
- Think of the word as sounds: place likely vowels early, since every syllable needs one.
- Remember that a final consonant (batchim) takes its own cell.
- Use unlimited mode to practise before playing the ranked daily word.
Questions
How many times can I play the daily word?
Once a day. The unlimited mode lets you play as often as you like with your own cell and try counts, but it does not count for the ranking.
Why are consonants and vowels typed separately?
Guessing whole syllables leaves too many possibilities for the colour clues to help; single consonants and vowels let you narrow the word down cell by cell.
How does the ranking work?
Players who solve today's word are ranked by fewest tries, with ties going to whoever solved it faster.
