New word game Letterlike debuts, merging Balatro with Scrabble!

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

Crafting Words in Letterlike

Letterlike's roguelike nature means every playthrough offers a unique set of letters and challenges, all procedurally generated. The possibilities are endless, leading to countless victories.

Each game begins with a letter set. Your mission: create words, score points, and conquer levels. Each level comprises three rounds.

To progress, you must accumulate enough points by forming high-scoring words, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, so choose your words carefully!

Facing a less-than-ideal letter combination? Don't worry! You can discard letters, but discards are limited, so strategize your choices.

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

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

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

Ready to Play?

Letterlike is a simple, minimalist, yet engaging game. Share your 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 is available, so try it out on the Google Play Store before committing.
