Letterlike: A Scrabble-Inspired Word Game Revolutionizing the Puzzle Sphere

Wordsmiths, get ready for a new word game challenge! Letterlike, a roguelike word puzzle, blends the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique combination of vocabulary skills and unpredictable roguelike elements – a truly novel experience!

Crafting Words in Letterlike

As a roguelike, Letterlike offers a fresh set of letter combinations and challenges with every playthrough. Each game presents endless possibilities and the potential for countless victories.

You begin with a random selection of letters. Your objective: create words, earn points, and progress through levels. Each level consists of three rounds.

To advance, you must accumulate enough points by forming high-scoring words, reminiscent of Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round – choose your words carefully!

Facing a less-than-ideal letter set? Don't despair! You can discard some letters, but this option is limited, so strategic discarding is key.

A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to find the perfect word combinations.

The final round of each level introduces a unique twist: some letters become unusable, yielding zero points.

Earned points and rewards can be spent on power-ups to enhance your gameplay. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others unlock as you progress. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades for easier future runs.

Ready to Give It a Go?

Letterlike offers simple, minimalist gameplay with maximum fun. Replay specific runs with friends using shared seeds – share your cursed letter combinations and let your friends experience the frustration (or triumph)!

The game is ad-free with a one-time purchase and fully playable offline. A free demo version is available to try before you buy. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a shot!
