About the Game

*Screenshots are not final.

Shifty Letters is a puzzle game where you use falling blocks to form words. Words are scored based on the value of the letter tiles. Use the following special blocks to aid you:

Rotating Block - Choose the letter you want, but be quick, or it will change at the last second.

Letter Shift - Shift your letters to the right or left depending on the arrow direction

Row Shift - Shift your row to the right or left depending on the arrow direction

Glow Block - Any blocks touching the word formed with this block will be removed

Flip Block - Flip the entire row to mirror what you had

Featuring over 100,000 words to form horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Use random double-word and letter-scoring tiles to increase your score. Every 500 points, select a modifier to help you stay alive. The game is over once your blocks reach the top.

Play against two to three other players locally or go head-to-head with someone online. Words with five letters or more will create frozen blocks on your opponent's side. Unfreeze them by making a word that touches those blocks.
