Letterlike Is a New Word Game That’s Like Balatro But with Scrabble!

Wordsmiths, rejoice! A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is here, blending the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique challenge where vocabulary meets unpredictable roguelike gameplay – a truly novel combination!

Crafting Words in Letterlike

Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures each playthrough is a fresh, procedurally generated puzzle of letters and challenges. The possibilities are endless, leading to equally endless victories (or hilarious defeats!).

Each game starts 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!

Facing a frustrating letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, but discards are limited, so strategic choices are crucial.

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

The final round of each level introduces a twist: a special ability renders some letters useless, awarding zero points. Plan accordingly!

Earned points and rewards unlock various in-game items to enhance future runs. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems further power these upgrades, making subsequent games easier.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike offers simple, minimalist, yet addictive gameplay. The game allows replaying specific runs with friends using shared seeds – share your cursed letter combinations and let your friends experience the same frustration (or triumph)!

The game is ad-free with a one-time purchase and offers offline play. A free demo version lets you test the waters before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store and give the demo a try!
