How to Play
K-PUZZLE.COM is a Hangul crossword. English clues describe a song, member, character, or plot point. You fill the grid with Korean syllables from a letter bank. Nothing is typed on a keyboard unless you want to search for a topic first.
Start a puzzle
-
Choose a theme
The lobby has two doors: K-POP and K-Drama & Movies. That choice only picks the topic list. You can return to the lobby at any time.
-
Pick a topic — or Random Mix
Each theme has 100 named topics plus Random Mix. Search the list if you already know the group or title you want. Random Mix shuffles clues from the whole theme onto one board.
-
Set a difficulty
Beginner draws 5 clues, Intermediate draws 10, and Advanced draws 20. Harder levels allow longer Hangul and more crossings. Starting the level starts the timer.
-
Read a clue, then place tiles
Tap a numbered cell or a clue to select an Across or Down entry. The active clue appears under the board. Tap Hangul tiles in the letter bank to drop them onto the highlighted word. The next empty cell fills automatically.
-
Fix mistakes
A wrong syllable stays on the board until you take it back. Tap a filled cell to return that tile to the bank. If every cell is full but the puzzle is not cleared, a few letters are still in the wrong place — lift them and try again.
-
Clear, then share if you want
When every syllable matches the solution, the timer stops and you see your time and an estimated rank for that device. Retry draws another layout from the same topic. Share copies a challenge to Instagram, X, or Facebook if you want to compare times.
The letter bank
The bank holds exactly the Hangul syllables needed for the current crossword, already shuffled. You are not inventing extra letters. Shuffle only rearranges unused tiles. It does not change the puzzle or reset the clock.
On a phone, the clue list can hide behind a Clues button so the board stays large. Open it to jump to a numbered entry, then close it and keep placing tiles.
Useful details
- Answers are Hangul even when the clue is about an English title. Think of how the name is written in Korean.
- Crossing cells belong to two words. Placing a syllable there counts for both.
- Play again on the same topic for a new draw from that topic’s question bank.
- Clear times are stored in this browser only. Another phone or a cleared cache will not keep your history.
