Letter Avalanche is a new type of word game where gravity, physics and nerve are in play. How well can you spell? Now, how good can you spell when the letters are falling in different positions and stacking up against you? Well, that's where the Letter Avalanche challenge comes in. Letter Avalanche is a fast paced twist on traditional spelling games that challenges your inner wordsmith and your ability to keep track of tumbling letters. The name of the game is speed, picking up the letters as they fall to form words and destroy the blocks. There are power-ups, bonuses, Easter eggs and many sounds were voiced by the multi-talented, Grammy nominated Joey Belladonna of Anthrax! Now with 5 different word lists to choose from!

Changed the looks and buttons around to be less cluttered and better looking. All power ups are enabled by default instead of unlocking as you go up in level. Per user feedback I have slowed down the letter drops by 0.25 sec. They still pick up in speed as you go to the next level. You now get points when you destroy blocks. You get the points of how much each letter is worth. This will help boost your scores when you use bombs and also give a nice boost at the end of the game when all the blocks are destroyed. Fixed a bug in the Rate Game button. Fixed bug in store where you couldn't buy coins on some devices. If a user signed into Facebook for the first time, but didn't or couldn't let the game sync they didn't get their free 5,000 coins. This has now been fixed. You now get 500 free coins the first time you post your score to your Facebook timeline. New Stat added, "Life Time Coins Earned".
