In short
Urimal: Korean Word Game is a daily word puzzle where players type Korean words and see how close each guess is to a hidden answer, with a new word released every evening at 8 PM KST. It suits intermediate and advanced Korean learners and requires a Korean keyboard. Solvers take 1st place on the daily ranking regardless of how many attempts they used.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Type a Korean word and discover how close you are to today’s answer. Starting over 1,000 steps away, you watch the gap shrink: 137… 12… 3… and finally, the word itself! It’s not just about right or wrong—the thrilling journey of closing in on the answer is what makes this game so addictive.
(Make sure you have a Korean keyboard installed—both the target word and your guesses are in Korean!)
No hints given—no word length, no starting letter. A brand-new word unlocks every evening at 8 PM KST, meaning everyone around the world is tackling the same puzzle together.
Check the daily ranking to see how close others are right now. Here’s the best part: anyone who solves it lands in 1st place, regardless of how many attempts it took. So even if you join in late in the evening, you still have a shot at the top spot! (And don't worry—your guessed words are kept completely private.)
You start with 5 free attempts, and a new one recharges every 15 minutes once you run out. Once you solve it, you’ll get a shareable result card—with zero spoilers, so feel free to flex your win!
Up for a real Korean challenge? If you’re an intermediate or advanced learner looking to level up, this is hands-down the most fun way to expand your vocabulary. It won’t even feel like studying as you naturally start weighing nuances and meanings against one another. Give it a shot today!
