Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is now available, 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 set of letters. Your objective: create meaningful 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, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round—use them strategically!

Facing an unpromising 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 maximize your word-building potential.

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

Earned points and rewards can be invested in power-ups to enhance future runs. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others unlock upon reaching specific levels. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades, simplifying subsequent games.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike offers a simple, minimalist, yet engaging experience. The game allows replaying specific runs with friends using shared seeds. Share those frustrating letter combinations and let your friends experience the same challenge!

Letterlike is ad-free with a one-time purchase and offers offline play. A free demo version is available to try before you buy. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a whirl!
