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

A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is challenging word game enthusiasts! Blending elements of Balatro and Scrabble, Letterlike offers a unique mix of vocabulary skills and roguelike unpredictability.

Word Crafting in Letterlike

As a roguelike, Letterlike provides a fresh set of letters and challenges with each playthrough, ensuring endless replayability. Starting with a letter set, your objective is to create words, earn points, and progress through levels. Each level consists of three rounds, each with five attempts.

Strategic word creation is key to accumulating enough points to advance. While you can discard unwanted letters, this option is limited, demanding careful consideration. A rearrange mode allows you to manipulate letters for optimal word formation.

The final round introduces a twist: certain letters become useless, yielding zero points. This adds an extra layer of strategic depth.

Earned points and rewards can be invested in power-ups to enhance future gameplay. Some buffs are automatically applied, while others unlock upon reaching specific levels. Collected gems unlock powerful upgrades, easing subsequent runs.

Worth a Try?

Letterlike boasts a simple, minimalist design with engaging gameplay. The game allows replaying specific runs with friends using shared seeds—perfect for sharing frustrating letter combinations!

Letterlike is ad-free with a single in-app purchase and offers offline play. A free demo is available on the Google Play Store, allowing you to experience the game before committing to a purchase.
