Letterlike: New Wordplay Captivates Puzzle Aficionados

Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is now available, blending the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique challenge combining vocabulary skills with roguelike unpredictability – a truly novel combination!

Crafting Words in Letterlike:

Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures each playthrough offers a fresh set of letters and procedurally generated challenges. The possibilities are endless, leading to countless victories.

Each game begins with a random selection of letters. Your objective: create meaningful words, accumulate points, and progress through levels. Each level comprises three rounds.

To advance, you must achieve a sufficient point total by forming high-scoring words, reminiscent of Scrabble. However, each round grants only five attempts (lives), demanding strategic word creation.

Facing a less-than-ideal letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, but this option is limited, so choose wisely.

A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to optimize your word formations.

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

Earned points and rewards unlock various in-game items to enhance subsequent playthroughs. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades, easing future challenges.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike offers a simple, minimalist, yet engaging experience. The game allows replaying specific runs with friends using shared seeds – perfect for sharing those frustrating letter combinations!

The game is ad-free with a one-time purchase and offers offline play. A free demo version is available for those seeking a trial run. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a try!
