Hangul Blocks: Build Words, Learn to Read
Korean writes in syllable blocks — a consonant and a vowel stacked together, sometimes with a final consonant underneath. Tap the letter tiles in order to build each word and hear it spoken. Then use the chart below to see how every consonant and vowel sounds, and why it's shaped that way.

Tap the letter tiles in order to stack them into syllable blocks. Every tile shows its sound, so you learn to read while you play. 10 words per round.
How to read the letters
Hangul is a featural alphabet: consonant shapes sketch what your mouth does, and vowels are built from three strokes — a horizontal line (earth), a vertical line (a standing person), and a dot (the sun). Tap any letter to hear it.
Consonants (자음) — 14 basic + 5 doubled
Vowels (모음) — 10 basic + common blends
Sounds are approximations — Korean consonants sit between English voiced and unvoiced pairs (ㄱ is between g and k). Tap a tile to hear a native-style pronunciation from your device.
