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, blends the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique mix of vocabulary and roguelike randomness – a truly novel combination!

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 letter set. Your objective: create meaningful words, earn points, and progress through levels. Each level comprises three rounds.

To advance, you must accumulate sufficient points by forming high-scoring words, reminiscent of Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, so choose your words wisely.

Facing an unhelpful letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, but discards are limited, requiring careful selection.

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

Letterlike's final round introduces a twist: a special ability renders some letters worthless, 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 unlock powerful upgrades, simplifying subsequent playthroughs.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike offers simple, minimalist, yet engaging gameplay. Shareable seeds allow you to replay specific runs with friends, ensuring shared frustration (or triumph!) over particularly challenging letter combinations.

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