About This Game

How many words until you reach your Character Limit?

Letters keep dropping. Time keeps ticking. You’re running out of space, options, and sanity.

Character Limit is a fast-paced word game where quick thinking and quick typing are the only things standing between you and total linguistic collapse.

You’ve got twelve spaces — your Character Limit — and a never-ending supply of letters waiting to overwhelm you.

Form words to clear space, score points, and stay alive for as long as possible.

It’s simple… until it’s not.

Don’t Fill The Rack

That’s the golden rule.

Once every slot is full and the countdown ends, the game’s over — and it always sneaks up faster than you think.

Number Go Up

Every round is a battle against your own hesitation: do you gamble on a long word for a huge score, or play safe before the next letter drops?

There’s no right answer — only speed, instinct, and a growing sense that maybe you don’t know English as well as you thought.

Features

  • 12 Letters. No Mercy. A constant stream of tiles testing your reflexes and vocabulary.

  • Multiple Game Modes: Endless, Empty the Bag, and Custom games — each with a unique flavour of stress.

  • Daily Challenge: One round for everyone, one chance to top that day's leaderboard

  • Power-Ups: Clear vowels, shift the rack, or throw in a wildcard to save yourself.

  • Clean and Tactile: No clutter, no filler — just crisp visuals, punchy feedback, and satisfying flow.

  • Built for Keyboard, Mouse, or Touchscreen: Type, click, or if you're fancy, touch your way to survival.

  • Welsh Language Mode: Because developing an English language word game was too easy...
