Hangul Cryptogram (나랏말)

Every consonant and vowel has been hidden, and only numbers are left. There is just one clue: the same number is always the same letter. Start from the few letters that are showing and uncover the hidden Korean sentence.

How to play

Each consonant and vowel that makes up a Korean syllable carries a number.

Example: once you know that 1 is ㅌ, the 1 in the fifth syllable is ㅌ too, and 9 is ㅏ. Keep going and the proverb ‘티끌 모아 태산’ (many a little makes a mickle) appears.

01

Pick a square, press a letter

Select an empty square and press the consonant or vowel that belongs there on the keyboard below. A correct letter fills the square and becomes a clue for every other square with the same number.

02

Three lives

A wrong letter costs a life. Lose all three and you try again with new numbers. Solve with no mistakes and no hints to earn three stars.

03

A guided first round

The first puzzle walks you through the rules and the tools step by step. If you already know how it works, you can skip it.

Features

One sentence in a spare minute — or one more, and then another.

01

1,000 sentences

Proverbs, famous quotes, song lyrics, literature, film and TV lines, and buzzwords. Each level you clear unlocks the next sentence, and every puzzle tells you its topic.

02

Sentence of the day

A new sentence every day. Days solved in a row build up a streak of stamps, and the calendar on the records screen shows which days you solved this month.

03

Tools for when you are stuck

Reveal fills one square, Same number highlights every square that shares a number, Auto-fill fills all matching letters at once, and Meaning explains the sentence and where it comes from.

04

Your time against everyone’s

Stars and solve time are kept for each level. When you finish, your time is shown next to the average time of all players.

05

No login, saved on your device

No sign-up and no login. Your progress and records are saved only on your phone. We do not ask for your age or name.

06

Coins and ads, up front

Tools are bought with coins you earn by solving puzzles. There are no payments. An ad plays when a level starts, but the first 10 levels after installing are ad-free. Ads that give coins play only when you choose them.

The puzzles are always Korean sentences, so the game is meant for people who read Korean. The app’s menus are currently in Korean.
