Wordsmiths Rejoice: Letterlike Blends Balatro Complexity with Scrabble Strategy

A new roguelike word game, Letterlike, is now available, blending elements of Balatro and Scrabble. This unique combination of vocabulary and roguelike randomness offers endless replayability.

Word Crafting in Letterlike

Letterlike's roguelike nature ensures each playthrough presents a unique set of letters and challenges. The objective? Create words, earn points, and conquer levels. Each level comprises three rounds, each with five attempts. Strategic word creation is key to accumulating enough points to progress.

Facing a less-than-ideal letter combination? Don't despair! You can discard letters, though this option is limited. A handy rearrange mode allows you to manipulate letters to your advantage.

The final round of each level introduces a twist: certain letters become worthless, yielding zero points.

Earned points and rewards unlock power-ups to enhance future playthroughs. Some buffs are automatic, while others require reaching specific levels. Collected gems provide access to powerful upgrades, simplifying subsequent runs.

Worth a Try?

Letterlike is a simple yet engaging game. The minimalist design is complemented by the ability to replay specific runs with friends using shared seeds—perfect for sharing particularly challenging letter combinations!

The game is ad-free with a one-time purchase, offering offline play. A free demo version is also available on the Google Play Store. Not a word game enthusiast? Check out our next article covering Blizzard's Diablo Immortal Patch 3.2, "Shattered Sanctuary".
