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

Wordsmiths, get ready for a new challenge! Letterlike, a roguelike word game, blends the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique mix of vocabulary and unpredictable roguelike elements – a truly novel combination!

Creating Words in Letterlike

Letterlike's roguelike nature means each playthrough offers a fresh set of letters and procedurally generated challenges. The possibilities, and the victories, are endless.

Each game begins with a letter set. Your objective: create words, score points, and conquer levels. Each level consists of three rounds.

To progress, you must achieve a target score by forming words, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, so strategize carefully!

Facing a less-than-ideal letter combination? Don't fret! You can discard letters, but this option is limited, requiring thoughtful choices.

A handy 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 renders some letters worthless, yielding zero points.

Earned points and rewards unlock helpful items to enhance future playthroughs. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems also unlock powerful upgrades, smoothing the path for subsequent games.

Ready to Give It a Try?

Letterlike is a simple, minimalist, yet captivating game. The shared seed feature allows you to replay specific runs with friends, sharing the agony (or triumph!) of particularly challenging letter combinations.

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