Daily Hangul Word Puzzle (Kordle) is the Korean-language daily word puzzle where you have six tries to deduce the hidden 4-syllable Korean word released at midnight. Where English Wordle works at the 5-letter alphabet level, Hangul decomposes each syllable into initial consonant, medial vowel, and final consonant (jamo) — Kordle's rules are built directly on the phonological structure of Hangul itself. Same daily ritual format, but with depth tuned for Korean readers.

Answers are everyday 4-syllable Korean words — compound nouns like 김치찌개 (kimchi stew), four-character idioms like 일석이조 (two birds with one stone), and loanwords like 가족여행 (family trip). Compose each syllable from consonants and vowels using the dubeolsik (two-set) jamo keyboard. On submit, every syllable's initial, medial, and final jamo gets its own color hint bar: green means the right jamo in the right slot, yellow means present-but-misplaced, gray means not in the answer. Syllables without a final consonant show only two hint bars, so you can tell at a glance which slots have a 받침 (batchim, final consonant).

A strong opening word loads up jamo diversity — something like "가나다라" exposes the most common consonants (ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅇ, ㅁ) and vowels (ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅣ, ㅡ) in a single move. Yellow jamos are the highest-value clues: in your next attempt, deliberately reposition them — move an initial jamo to a final slot, or shift a medial vowel into a different syllable's medial — to confirm exactly where each one belongs.

Hangul Wordle is structurally harder than English Wordle because "a syllable can be partially correct." If the answer contains 감 (gam) and you submit 가 (ga), then ㄱ and ㅏ light green but the final slot is marked "empty" rather than gray — a subtle but enormous source of new information. Reading those signals is what trains Korean vocabulary and phonological awareness in a measurable way over weeks.

Every midnight, the global Korean-speaking audience tackles the same 4-syllable word together. Results render as an emoji block grid (no spoilers) that you can flex in KakaoTalk, DMs, or group chats — exactly the same shareability as English Wordle. A daily Korean brain warm-up and a vocabulary showdown with family and friends — that's Kordle on OgleOgle.
