Letterlike: Innovative Word Creation Game Inspired by Scrabble

Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is here, blending the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique fusion of vocabulary and unpredictable roguelike gameplay – a truly novel combination!

Crafting Words in Letterlike

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

Each game begins with a random set of letters. Your objective: create words, score points, and conquer levels. Each level consists of three rounds, each demanding a certain point total to advance. You have only five attempts per round, so choose your words wisely!

Facing a frustrating letter combination? Don't fret! You can discard letters, but discards are limited, adding another layer of strategic depth. A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to your advantage.

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

Earned points and rewards unlock helpful items to boost your gameplay. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems further enhance your progress, paving the way for easier future runs.

Ready to Give It a Try?

Letterlike offers simple, minimalist gameplay with surprising depth. Share your runs (including those cursed letter combinations!) with friends using shared seeds for some friendly competition.

The game is ad-free with a single in-app purchase and offers offline play. A free demo lets you experience the unique blend of wordplay and roguelike mechanics. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a whirl!
