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 blending elements of Balatro and Scrabble, is now available. Prepare for a unique mix of vocabulary and roguelike randomness – 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, leading to endless replayability and potential victories.

Each game begins with a letter set. Your objective: create words, earn points, and conquer levels. Each level features three rounds, requiring a sufficient point total to advance. You have five attempts per round – use them strategically!

Facing a less-than-ideal letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, but this option is limited, so choose wisely. A helpful rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle letters to maximize your word-building potential.

Letterlike's final round introduces a twist: a special ability that renders some letters worthless, yielding zero points.

Earned points and rewards unlock helpful items to enhance future playthroughs. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others require reaching specific level milestones. Collected gems also unlock powerful upgrades, smoothing the path to victory.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike offers a simple, minimalist, yet engaging experience. Replay specific runs with friends using shared seeds – share those cursed letter combinations and let your friends experience the frustration!

The game is ad-free with a one-time purchase and offers offline play. Try the free demo version before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give it a whirl!
