About 꼬맨틀 (Semantle Korean)

꼬맨틀 brings Semantle to Korean. The answer is one Korean word a day, and the only feedback is how similar your guess is to it in meaning, scored from -100 to +100. The page tells you how similar the very nearest word is, and the 10th and 1,000th nearest, so you know what a warm score looks like before you start. When a guess lands in the top 1,000, its rank is shown too.

The answer can be any part of speech, a noun, verb, adjective or adverb, always in its dictionary form, and is picked from common Korean words of two syllables or more taken from Wiktionary. Similarity comes from a FastText model trained on Common Crawl and Wikipedia, so words that appear in the same contexts score high even if they mean opposite things, and homonyms such as 밤 (night, or chestnut) can lead you astray. You can give up, and after solving you can keep guessing and browse the 1,000 nearest words.

The makers, Newsjelly, hold to Wordle's rule of one game a day with the same answer for everyone. The word changes at midnight Korea time, which is 3 pm UTC. Your stats, including streak and total guesses, are kept in your browser. It suits Korean speakers and advanced learners who enjoy Semantle or Cémantix.

• Remember homonyms: decide which meaning of a warm word the answer is near.
• Opposites can score high, because they appear in the same sentences.
