A játékról

Word Play is a brain-busting spelling game about making words, getting perks, and scoring big.

Imagine your favourite word game - but where you get to change the rules and the tiles as you play!

How to Play

Spelling

Click, drag, or type to spell the best and biggest words you can find.

Scoring

Score points based on the value of each letter, and the length of the word.

Perks

Score enough points to clear the round and you'll get a chance to pick from more than 150 perks!

Playing with Perks

Modifiers

Modifiers change the rules of the game, in your favour. Add more tile spaces, build Bonus Points, make Q tiles become QU tiles, and more.

Upgrades

Upgrades let you improve, destroy, discard, or duplicate tiles.

Gifts

Gifts add new tiles to your letter bag. Like wildcards, mirror tiles, and the legendary + tile.

Special Tiles

Upgrade tiles to special forms like Golden, Diamond, Emerald, and Potion, to score more points.

Score Big!

Synergies and Strategies

Combine modifiers, upgrades, gifts, and special tiles in clever ways to score big!

Special Rounds

Watch out for devious Special Rounds that require perfect play.

Roguelike Structure

Can you reach the end of the game without running out of "Plays"? Or will you have to start again from scratch?

Difficulty Settings

Learn the ropes with Easy mode, then try Normal, Hard, Legendary, and Marathon modes.

Casual Mode

Play with fewer strategic elements in Quick Play - just spell words and try to win medals!
