Om spillet

Blocks of letters are falling down. Can you form words fast enough to keep the board from filling up and beat your high score?

Valid Words

Words must be 4 letters minimum.

Words can be up to 15 letters maximum.

Words can be spelled vertically or horizontally.

There are about 70,000 valid words, including many proper nouns and names.

Game-play

At the start of every game, the first four blocks to spawn are always "W", "O", "R", "D".

The board starts at only 4 columns wide, when you form a word that spans all columns, the board grows 1 column wider.

As the board grows wider, there are more chances for 2 or 3 blocks to spawn instead of a single block.

Scoring

Less common letters are worth more points.

Words longer than 4 characters award a bonus that grows with word size.

Cascades award a bonus. (When another word is formed after blocks get cleared and fall down)

Words that span all columns of the board award a bonus that grows with board size.

A single letter forming a valid word both vertically and horizontally awards a bonus based on the letter's rarity.

Bonus Blocks
