Introducing Letterlike: A Scrabble-Inspired Word Game with a Twist!

Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, has arrived, blending the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique fusion of vocabulary and roguelike unpredictability!

Crafting Words in Letterlike:

Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures each playthrough offers a fresh challenge with procedurally generated letter sets and obstacles. The possibilities are endless, leading to countless victories.

Each game begins with a random selection of letters. Your objective: create words, accumulate points, and conquer levels. Each level consists of three rounds.

To progress, 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 wordplay.

Facing an unpromising letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, but this option is limited, so choose wisely.

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

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

Earned points and rewards unlock helpful items to enhance your gameplay. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems also unlock powerful upgrades, simplifying future runs.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike offers a simple, minimalist, yet engaging experience. Shareable seeds allow you to replay specific runs with friends, ensuring shared frustration (or triumph!) over particularly challenging letter combinations.

Enjoy an ad-free experience with a single in-app purchase, and the added convenience of offline play. A free demo version is available for those seeking a taste before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a try.
