Mukwooru

Mukwooru is a Korean word (묵워루) that loosely translates to "word ladder" or "chain of words." It describes a verbal game where participants take turns saying words, with each new word beginning with the final letter of the previous word. The game continues until someone is unable to think of a valid word, makes a mistake, or a pre-determined end condition is met. Variations in the rules exist, such as prohibiting the repetition of words or restricting the words to a specific category. Mukwooru is a popular game in South Korea, often played for entertainment and to improve vocabulary and quick thinking. It is comparable to similar word games played in other languages and cultures.
