I Built a Free Wongoji Editor for TOPIK Writing Practice
Hey everyone! I was prepping for TOPIK writing and ran into a problem I couldn't stand: practicing handwriting on paper. I type everything on a keyboard, and handwriting practice felt slow and messy — exactly the wrong thing to focus on when the writing section is already hard enough. So I built the tool I wished existed: a Korean wongoji editor that takes what you type and formats it directly…
I recently faced a challenge while preparing for the TOPIK writing test: practicing handwriting on paper proved to be cumbersome and inefficient. Typing everything on a keyboard felt much faster and smoother, but there was no existing tool that formatted my typed text into authentic 원고지, the grid format specifically used for the TOPIK writing section.
Determined to find a better solution, I created a free Korean wongoji editor tailored for TOPIK writing practice. This tool takes what you type and formats it directly into the authentic 원고지, complete with the proper grid layout. The key features include:
Real exam practice: It incorporates 21 real past TOPIK II exams, presenting Writing 1 (문제 53) and Writing 2 (문제 54) questions on genuine 원고지 paper.
Type, don't handwrite: By typing instead of handwriting, you can focus on producing good Korean rather than grappling with your handwriting.
Instant feedback: Since everything is already typed, you can easily copy your essay and paste it into AI language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok for grammar analysis and mistake identification. Revise and repeat, which is far quicker than waiting for a teacher to mark up a physical essay.
Free to use: The editor is completely free and suitable not only for TOPIK preparation but also for general Korean writing practice.
You can try out the editor at https://korean-wongoji-editor.vercel.app/topik-prep. If you give it a go, I would greatly appreciate any feedback, especially from others preparing for the TOPIK writing section.
