Letterlike Is a New Word Game That’s Like Balatro But with Scrabble!

Wordsmiths, get ready for a new word game challenge! Letterlike, a roguelike word game from the developers, blends the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique combination of vocabulary skills and unpredictable roguelike elements – a truly novel gaming experience!

Crafting Words in Letterlike

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

Each game begins with a random selection of letters. Your mission: create words, accumulate points, and conquer levels. Each level consists of three rounds.

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

Facing a frustrating letter combination? Don't worry, you can discard some letters, but discards are limited, so plan carefully.

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

The final round of each level introduces a twist: a special ability renders certain letters useless, awarding zero points.

Earned points and rewards can be used to purchase power-ups for future runs. Some buffs are automatic, while others unlock at specific levels. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades, simplifying future challenges.

Ready to Give It a Try?

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

The game is ad-free with a single in-app purchase and offers offline play. A free demo version is available, so you can test the game before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a whirl.
