Do I need to know Hangul?

Clues are in English. Answers are Hangul syllables. You do not type Korean from scratch — you choose tiles from the letter bank. Knowing how a name looks in Korean helps, and the puzzle is also a way to practice that.

No. It is an unofficial fan project and is not affiliated with any entertainment agency, artist, or streaming service.

What is K-PUZZLE.COM?

A free Hangul crossword for global K-culture fans. You choose K-POP or K-Drama & Movies, then one of 100 topics (or Random Mix). The site draws fan questions onto one board. Clues are in English; the cells take Hangul syllables from a letter bank.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up. If you clear a puzzle, this browser may store the time in local storage so a rank can appear on this device. Another browser or a cleared cache starts fresh.

Do I need to read Hangul already?

You do not type Korean from a blank keyboard. Tiles in the letter bank are the only syllables used on that board. It still helps to recognize how a group name or title is written in Korean, because that is the answer. Many players treat the game as light reading practice for words they already know by ear.

What do Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced change?

The number of clues drawn from the topic’s question bank: 5, 10, or 20. Higher levels allow longer Hangul and a tighter grid. The timer starts when the board appears. Playing the same topic again can draw a different set of clues.

What is Random Mix?

A mode that pulls clues from every topic in the theme you picked. The board can jump from one group or drama to another. Play it again for a new mix.

A tile will not go where I want. What should I do?

Select the word first — tap its numbered cell or its clue — then tap a tile. If a cell already has a syllable, tap that cell to send the tile back to the bank. Shuffle only reorders unused tiles; it does not fix wrong placements.

Does the rank compare me to other people?

The rank is an estimate based on your clear time and typical times for that difficulty on this site. It is meant as a shareable snapshot, not a live global leaderboard.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. The board scales down on a small screen. Use the Clues button to open the full list, pick an entry, then return to the grid. Shuffle is also available in the header on mobile.
