Innovative Word Game 'Letterlike' Debuts as Scrabble Meets Balatro

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

Crafting Words in Letterlike

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

Each game starts with a letter set. Your goal: create words, score points, and conquer levels. Each level features three rounds.

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

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

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

Letterlike's final round introduces a twist: a special ability renders some letters useless, awarding 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 unlock powerful upgrades, smoothing the path to victory.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike is simple, minimalist, and highly replayable. Share game seeds with friends to replay specific runs together – share the pain (or glory!) of a particularly challenging letter combination!

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