Letterlike: The New Word Game that Combines Balatro and Scrabble

Wordsmiths, get ready for a new word game challenge! Letterlike, a roguelike word puzzle, blends the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique combination of vocabulary skills and unpredictable roguelike elements – a truly fresh take on word games!

Crafting Words in Letterlike

Letterlike's roguelike nature means each playthrough offers a unique set of letters and challenges, all procedurally generated. This ensures endless replayability and the thrill of constant new victories.

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

To progress, you must score enough points by forming high-scoring words, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, so choose your words strategically.

Facing a challenging letter combination? Don't worry! You can discard letters, but discards are limited, so make each choice count.

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: some letters become useless, yielding zero points. Plan your strategy accordingly!

Earned points and rewards unlock helpful in-game items to boost your performance. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific level milestones. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades, simplifying future runs.

Ready to Play?

Letterlike is a simple, minimalist, yet highly addictive game. Share your most challenging (or hilariously bad) letter combinations with friends using shared seeds for collaborative frustration (or triumph!).

Enjoy an ad-free experience with a single in-app purchase. Offline play is also supported. Try the free demo version to see if it's your cup of tea before committing. Find Letterlike on the Google Play Store.
