About the Game

                               

The ultimate word-based roguelike.

Dicey Words is a dice-based word-building roguelike where strategy, vocabulary, and a little luck collide. Spelling words isn’t always enough!

Roll letter dice, lock and reroll like Yahtzee, and craft five-letter words for big points. Every decision matters—what letters you keep, what words you build, and how you use the powerful badges you earn along the way. Each run is a fresh challenge packed with risk, reward, and ever-evolving mechanics.

Think fast, spell smart. Every roll is a puzzle.

  • Discover 6 specialized dice types that add layers of strategy to every roll.

  • Customize your runs with 23 powerful perks to build your perfect word engine.

Whether you're a word game fanatic or a roguelike addict, Dicey Words delivers fast-paced, brain-twisting gameplay with endless replayability. Each roll is a gamble.
