KEEP THE
WORDS
FALLING.

> Words under pressure

Letters drop from the sky. You spell. They clear. The board fills anyway. Tetris meets Scrabble — with tile locks, boss curses, and a leaderboard full of people faster than you.

How to play

Four rules. The rest you learn by losing.

01

Letters fall

Tiles drop into a 10×10 grid, stacking from the bottom. Every level, gravity gets meaner.

02

Spell anywhere

Tap settled tiles in any order or type on the keyboard. 4 letters min, 15 max — the dictionary has 190,000+ words.

03

Submit & score

Valid words vanish in a green flash. Tiles above fall to fill the gap. Longer words earn large length bonuses.

04

Don't top out

A full board ends your run unless an available Second Chance saves you. Keep clearing words to make room.

Length pays.

Letter values are Scrabble-style. Length bonuses are not.

Pick your fight.

Quest, Daily Challenge, and Zen for solo play. Duel for a 1v1 race with tile locks.

SOLO · ROGUELIKE

Quest Mode

Ten stages. Every fifth one is a boss with a cursed modifier. Earn gold between stages and spend it on Tomes, Scrolls, and Legendary Librarians who bend the rules. Clear stage 10 and Endless unlocks.

  • 95 Librarians to collect, each with a distinct scoring effect
  • Rotating boss curses: rare letters, bottom prefill, speed spikes
  • Library-themed roguelike shop between stages
  • Submits to the Regular leaderboard
1v1 · REAL-TIME

Multiplayer Duel

Two players share an ordered letter stream with a five-minute limit. A 7+ letter word locks tiles in a 3×3 area for 10 seconds. Five or six letters send junk tiles (J/Z/X/Q). Fill your board and you lose; at the time limit, the higher score wins.

  • The server schedules the same letters every 900ms; board placement changes as each player clears words and receives attacks
  • Locked tiles stay on the board and cannot be selected until the lock expires
  • 30-second matchmaking, 10-second reconnect window
  • Friend duels via username search
