Five Letters Only
SteamHave fun and spell words to be the best!
Find high-scoring 5-letter words from 12 random letters. After each word submission, the board refreshes with new letters. The letters are worth random points on each board, making it more challenging to choose your next word. The letters in your word do not need to be adjacent to each other on the board, which gives you the chance to look for the highest scoring letters for your word. Three modes! Challenge: You have 5 chances to submit words. Valid or not, it uses a turn. Timed: You have 5 minutes to spell as many words as possible! Infinity: Play for as long as you want!
Each mode has its own leaderboard! Can you top all 3?
Theme unlocks!
Some words are special. If you submit one, you'll unlock a Steam Achievement and a Theme for the game. Themes are fun backgrounds and button styles.
Steam Achievements!
Of course, you can't have a game like this without achievements! Keep spelling words to unlock them!
Customize your settings!
The Options page has all you need to choose a theme, adjust/mute your background music, click sounds and audio validation sounds. All art was hand drawn by me, Shadorma, a solo dev. No ads or in-app purchases. Have fun!
