New Mobile Game 'Letterlike' Combines Features of Balatro and Scrabble

Wordsmiths, get ready for a new word game challenge! Letterlike, a roguelike word game, blends the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique combination of vocabulary skills and unpredictable roguelike gameplay – a truly fresh take on word games!

Conquering Letterlike's Word Puzzles

Letterlike's roguelike nature means every playthrough offers a unique set of letters and challenges, procedurally generated for endless replayability. Each game begins with a letter selection; your mission is to create words, earn points, and progress through levels. Each level consists of three rounds.

To advance, you must score enough points by forming high-scoring words, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, so strategy is key!

Facing a less-than-ideal letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, though discards are limited, demanding careful choices. A handy rearrange mode lets you drag, drop, and shuffle letters to optimize your word creations.

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

Earned points and rewards unlock helpful items and buffs to enhance future playthroughs. Some buffs are automatic; others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems further boost your upgrades, making subsequent games easier.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike offers a simple, minimalist, yet engaging experience. Replay specific runs with friends using shared seeds – share those frustrating letter combinations and let your friends experience the same challenge!

Enjoy an ad-free experience with a single in-app purchase, and play offline whenever you like. A free demo version is available to try before you buy. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give it a whirl!
