In the 1990s, a generation of Korean students learned to type on a program called Hanme Typing Tutor (한메타자교실). Its most beloved mode was Venice (베네치아): Korean words rained down from the top of the screen toward a rising waterline, and you had to type each one before it sank. People got fast trying to keep the water at bay.
TypeHangul is our love letter to that game, rebuilt for the modern browser and for the whole world. The falling words, the climbing water, the panic of the last life — it is all here, with nothing to install and nothing to pay, playable on any device with a keyboard.
TypeHangul is a free, endless Korean typing game. Hangul words fall from the top of the screen and you clear them by typing them on a Korean keyboard before they touch the water. There are no levels to finish and no winning screen — the only goal is a higher score than last time. The longer you survive, the faster the words fall, the more often they appear, and the higher the water climbs.
Every word is a real, common Korean word of two or more syllables. As your score grows, easier words graduate out and harder ones take their place, so the difficulty follows your skill rather than a clock. Some words arrive as items, marked with an emoji, and trigger effects like freezing the screen, clearing their neighbours, or granting an extra life.
You do not need to speak Korean to play. If you can read Hangul and have a Korean input method set up, you can jump straight in — the game is built for learners and typing enthusiasts around the world who want to get faster at Korean. If you are brand new, our keyboard practice page shows how each Hangul syllable is typed before you start a real game.
TypeHangul has a sister site, ReadHangul, that teaches you to read the Korean alphabet with one simple rule. If the falling words still look like shapes rather than sounds, start there — then come back and type them.
