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 from the developers, blends the best of Balatro and Scrabble. Prepare for a unique mix of vocabulary and roguelike unpredictability!

Crafting Words in Letterlike

As a roguelike, Letterlike offers a fresh set of letter combinations and challenges with each playthrough, all procedurally generated. The possibilities—and the victories—are endless.

Each game begins with a random selection of letters. Your goal: create words, earn points, and conquer levels. Each level consists of three rounds.

To advance, you must accumulate enough points by forming high-scoring words, similar to Scrabble. However, you only have five attempts (lives) per round, so strategy is key.

Facing a less-than-ideal letter selection? Don't worry! You can discard some letters, but this option is limited, so choose wisely.

A handy rearrange mode allows you to drag, drop, and shuffle your letters to find the perfect word combinations.

The final round of each level introduces a twist: a special ability that renders certain letters worthless, awarding zero points.

Earned points and rewards can be spent on power-ups to enhance your gameplay. Some buffs are automatic, while others unlock at specific levels. Collected gems also unlock powerful upgrades for easier future runs.

Letterlike is a simple, minimalist, yet engaging game. Share specific game runs with friends using shared seeds. Got a particularly nasty letter combination? Share the seed and let your friends experience the same challenge!
