Help the adorable grim reapers Grimm and Rose defeat monsters, ghosts, evil bunnies and more using the power of words! Letter Quest is a turn-based RPG where players attack monsters by spelling words. But be careful since the monsters fight back by creating different letter tiles such as poison, plague, stone, and whirlwind, or steal your health, heal themselves, use critical attacks, and much, much more! Features: ● 40 stages, with 4 unique ways to play each one ● Five separate areas, each with unique art and music tracks ● Tons of upgrades, books, potions, special items and weapons to help you on your journey ● Over 30 monsters to fight ● Boss monsters with unique abilities ● 70 quests to complete ● Leaderboards - compete with your friends ● 50 Game Center achievements Finding the game too difficult? Make sure to check out the upgrades store, especially the first 3 upgrade types - they increase your max health, increase the damage you do by spelling words, and decrease the amount of damage you take from monsters. Some players have been saying the game is too hard by around stage 10-15, but hadn't purchased a single upgrade! So please visit the upgrades shop every once in a while to give Grimm and Rose a fighting chance! “You'd be silly not to check this game out, especially if you enjoy word games.” - Shaun Musgrave, Touch Arcade (4.5/5) “This is easily the best free-to-play game I’ve played since Jetpack Joyride.” - Fade To Slack, Delta Attack (5/5) "Finally a word game that ranks up with the likes of LetterPress and Puzzlejuice." - Joachim Klaeschen, www.stromstock.de (4.5/5) “Letter Quest: Grimm’s Journey is a blast to play.” - Jennifer Allen, 148Apps (4/5) “It’s a cool, relatively stress-free take on word games, and anyone who likes pushing letter tiles around should check it out.” - Evan Killham, Cult of Mac (5/5) “If you’re a fan of word adventure type games, then this is a perfect addition to your collection this weekend.” - Christine Chan, App Advice (4.5/5) “If you’re a fan of fun and fresh genre mashups such as Puzzle Quest, then you’ll want to enroll in this word-based side-scrolling RPG.” - Voted "Today's Best App", Casey Tschida, AppAdvice “If you like word games and you like damaging scary monsters, you’ll love Letter Quest: Grimm’s Journey.” - Newsdesk, apple4ladies.com "In a world where the average app is uninstalled 15 minutes after it is downloaded – Letter Quest is going to be installed on my devices for a long time." - Shane R.

I wish there was an update with more levels. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-01-11, version 2.6.3* I've played Letter Quest on Steam for a while. Was pleased to see it in the App Store and even more surprised that it is FREE. The basis of the game is similar to Boggle.... The Grimm character is cute, monsters are witty/creative and the cursed tiles add challenge. ### 5/5 — Great :) *2025-10-10* It’s fun and cute, and although it won’t fill the hole Bookworm Adventures left in my heart, it is satisfying. There’s words missing like mammory, shroom, Ferris and any compact words (such as ziptie) And I have requests like making big damage attacks more exciting, gems cause something to happen to the enemy, mini games, more levels ofcourse. Just something a little more immersive! ### 3/5 — Good game, but… *2025-08-17, version 2.6.3* This is a good game, very enjoyable and challenging. Only problem is you are supposed to be able to watch a video to earn extra crystals. I downloaded this game more than a week ago and have yet to have a single video be available for earning extra crystals. This is frustrating and seems very much like false advertising to me. If you say, we can watch a video to earn crystals, gosh darn it let us watch a video! ### 5/5 — Love this game! Need more than 30 levels. *2024-12-04, version 2.6.3* I’ve been playing this game for years. I love it! My only complaint is level 30 is the end of the game! Need more levels, please! ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2023-08-27* This game is so unique and fun! I love that each word does a certain amount of damage. A logic word puzzle and fighting game into one! Love that u can upgrade ur weapon, health, etc. and that you can gain skills with the books. Fantastjob with this one Devs 😄👏🏻👏🏻 ### 5/5 — My Favorite IOS Game! *2023-03-25, version 2.6.3* For me, it’s just plain fun with a bit of quick thinking and vocabulary knowledge thrown in! An expansion or updated version would be great! ### 3/5 — Lots of good points *2023-01-17* Still using free version, but think I will pay soon. Like others I have found the dictionary limiting. But the game itself is fun. Hoping if I pay, maybe the letter board will not fill with 6 x M and 8 x E ( for example.) ### 4/5 — if you miss Bookworm Adventures, get this! *2022-10-15, version 2.6.3* Fun game, and as close as I can find to Bookworm Adventures. Not enough terrible puns, though! ### 4/5 — Game shifted to the left *2022-09-11* One of my all time favorite games, I’ve been coming back to for years. But suddenly the whole game is shifted to the left of the screen and the a 1/4 of the screen is a black space. It seems to have just happened, as I was playing yesterday and it was normal. I restarted my phone, I deleted and reinstalled the app, and it’s still all black on the right side. It would be really great to see this bug fixed…. Though, I doubt developers will see this any time soon. Great game either way. ## Frequently asked questions about Letter Quest ### What is Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey?
