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

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 words, earn points, and conquer levels. Each level comprises three rounds.

To progress, accumulate sufficient points by forming high-scoring words, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, demanding strategic wordplay.

Stuck with unhelpful letters? Don't fret! You can discard some, but discards are limited, so choose wisely.

A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to your advantage.

The final round introduces a twist: a special ability renders certain letters useless, yielding zero points.

Earned points and rewards unlock helpful items to enhance future runs. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems also facilitate powerful upgrades, easing subsequent playthroughs.

Ready to Give it a Go?

Letterlike offers simple, minimalist, yet engaging gameplay. Replay specific runs with friends using shared seeds – share those frustrating letter combinations and let your friends experience the agony (or triumph)!

The game is ad-free with a one-time purchase and offers offline play. A free demo version is available to test the waters. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a try!
