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 and roguelike unpredictability – a truly novel experience!
Crafting Words in Letterlike
Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures each playthrough offers a fresh 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 meaningful words, accumulate points, and conquer levels. Each level unfolds in 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 despair! You can discard some, but discards are limited, so choose carefully.
A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to create the perfect words.
Letterlike's final round introduces a unique twist: a special ability renders certain letters worthless, awarding zero points.
Earned points and rewards can be spent on power-ups to enhance future runs. Some buffs are automatic, while others unlock at specific levels. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades, making subsequent games easier.
Ready to Give It a Try?
Letterlike is simple, minimalist, and incredibly fun. 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. Check out Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a whirl!
