Word game enthusiasts have a thrilling new option to explore: a roguelike word game called Letterlike, which ingeniously blends elements of Balatro and Scrabble. This unique combination of vocabulary prowess and roguelike unpredictability offers a fresh and exciting gaming experience.

How to Play Letterlike

Letterlike operates on the roguelike principle, ensuring each game session offers a unique blend of letters and challenges, all generated procedurally. This leads to limitless possibilities and victories.

Starting with a set of letters, your objective is to form meaningful words, score points, and progress through levels. Each level consists of three rounds, and to advance, you must accumulate sufficient points by creating high-value words, reminiscent of Scrabble. You're given five chances (or lives) per round, so strategic play is essential.

If you find yourself with a less-than-ideal set of letters, don't despair. You can discard some, though this option is limited, so choose wisely. Additionally, a rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, shuffle, and manipulate letters to your advantage.

In the final round of each level, a special ability activates, rendering certain letters useless and incapable of earning points. This adds an extra layer of challenge to the game.

Points and rewards can be used to purchase items that enhance your gameplay. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others are unlocked at specific levels. Collecting gems also enables you to acquire powerful upgrades, making subsequent runs more manageable.

Will You Try It?

Letterlike stands out with its simplicity, minimalistic design, and engaging gameplay. A standout feature is the ability to replay specific runs with friends using shared seeds. If you encounter a particularly challenging letter combination, you can share it and let your friends experience the same thrill.

The game is free from ads and available with a one-time purchase. It can also be enjoyed offline. For those curious about the gameplay, a free demo version is available. If you're interested, head over to the Google Play Store and give the Letterlike demo a try.
