Korean Word Chain

Record vs AI

This is a Korean-language word game. You play in Korean (Hangul); only the menus are in English.

Rules

Take turns saying a word that starts with the last syllable of the previous word. If you can't answer within 15 seconds, you lose.
Only words of 2 or more syllables found in the dictionary count. (The list comes from the Standard Korean Language Dictionary, so some adverbs and verb stems are included.) A word can be used only once per game.
The initial-sound rule (dueum beopchik) is allowed, e.g. 력 → 역, 로 → 노, 녀 → 여, 리 → 이.
A dead-end word ends in a syllable no word can follow. By default they are banned only on the first move; you can change this in the menu above.
You win when the AI can't find a word.

AI levels

Easy: uses simple words and sometimes gives up after a few turns.
Normal: prefers common words and searches the dictionary when stuck.
Hard: attacks with words ending in hard-to-follow syllables. It sometimes plays rare dictionary words.

Word list: han-dle/pd-korean-noun-list-for-wordles (CC0 1.0, based on the Standard Korean Language Dictionary noun list, some offensive words removed). Words not in the dictionary and proper nouns may not be accepted.
