Every Hanzi Master story is built from the sound. For wán, the opening sound casts who is in the scene, the ending picks where it happens, and the 2nd tone (rising) places it in one of five rooms. (king; jade radical) and (first) walk on as the props, and the action lands on the meaning: to play; to have fun.

The finished scene for 玩 is one vivid sentence. Picture it once and wán stays with you.
