I cannot type Hangul on my keyboard. Can I still play?

Yes. Use Romanization mode (header toggle) to type the Latin spelling — the game accepts both. At Level 3+ you can also unlock Voice mode and speak the word aloud.

What are the K-Special collections?

Four themed rounds (Arirang, Spring Day, Run BTS, K-Beauty) drop lyrics or practical words. Each has its own global ranking on the Leaderboard so learners can compete theme by theme.

Does the game work with the mobile virtual keyboard?

Yes. The game board automatically resizes above the on-screen keyboard so the falling words stay visible while you type. Tested on iOS Safari and Android Chrome.

How do I save my score?

Sign in (Google or email) before you finish a round. Scores are validated server-side and saved to the global Leaderboard — top 100 per level, separate per K-Pop song.

About Hangul Rain

Hangul Rain is a real-time typing arcade where Hangul vocabulary falls from the top of the screen. Type the syllable block correctly before it touches the ground to score and earn XP — five misses end the round. The difficulty curve runs from beginner consonants and vowels at Level 1 through full K-Food expressions at Level 6. Beyond the standard ladder, four Special collections — the Korean folk song 'Arirang' (unlocks at Lv.2), BTS ballad 'Spring Day' (unlocks at Lv.3), high-energy 'Run BTS' (unlocks at Lv.4), and practical skincare & glowy skin words 'K-Beauty' (unlocks at Lv.3) — bring global rankings designed for culture-curious learners and K-Pop fans. On mobile, the game area automatically resizes above the virtual keyboard so words always stay visible while you type.

Tips to Master Hangul Rain

✓Start at Level 1 even if you already recognize a few characters — early levels build the muscle memory that later speed rounds rely on.
✓Toggle between Hangul typing and Romanization to drill the script-to-sound link from both directions.
✓When you cannot type fast enough, switch to Voice mode (unlocks at Level 3) and read the syllable aloud — your accent improves alongside your reading speed.

Why This Game Works

Falling letters create gentle time pressure that pushes you out of slow recall into automatic recognition. Research on language acquisition shows that paired auditory, visual, and motor input (seeing, saying, typing) builds Hangul fluency roughly three times faster than reading alone. Hangul Rain wraps that science into a forgiving five-life format so beginners stay in flow without anxiety.

How to Play

1Choose a level from 1 to 6, or pick a Special collection (Arirang (Lv.2) / Spring Day (Lv.3) / Run BTS (Lv.4) / K-Beauty (Preview) (Lv.3)). (Special collections are unlocked automatically when you reach the required level.)
2Watch Hangul words drop from the top of the screen — each one needs to be typed before it hits the ground.
3Type the matching Hangul syllable in the input box, then press Enter to submit.
4Switch between Hangul typing and Romanization any time with the mode toggle in the header.
5From Level 3 onward, Voice mode unlocks — speak the syllable aloud to clear it without typing.
