About the Game

A word-building puzzle game where you must build a path between falling letters to make words with the greatest score. The path between letters can be straight or diagonal, allowing for paths that cross. After each word played, letters fall to fill the bottom of the board.

The game consists of rounds of increasing difficulty, having a set letter requirement and word limit. You lose when you fail to reach the letter requirement, or when your letters stack to the top of the screen. Letters are scored based on how common they are and how difficult they are to use, from 1 to 5 points, as listed;

  • 1 - AEILNORSTU

  • 2 - BCDGHMP

  • 3 - FVWY

  • 4 - JKX

  • 5 - QZ

Each day and week have their own seed and leaderboard. Your best scores will be uploaded to the leaderboard, and the top 100 scores are shown in-game for each. You can also choose to play on a custom set seed or a random seed through the Free Play option.
