## What is LetterMiner?

Find words. Mine letters. Dig paths.

The game starts with a board of letter tiles and one tunnel tile, which is where you start mining. Find words to mine letters and dig paths to reach new areas of the game board. Score points for the letters you mine and the length of the words you find. Each board is procedurally generated so no two games of LetterMiner are exactly the same.

There are two ways to play LetterMiner. See how high a score you can get on a single board. Or play a multiple level mode where you have to meet ever increasing quotas and deal with supply and demand for the letters you mine. Mine too much of a letter, and its value drops.

## Key features

- Find words to mine letters
- Dig paths to new areas
- Score points for words and letters

### 5/5 — Finally, something new!

*2020-08-02*

I found this game because I was searching for a word based game that could work in landscape mode on my iPad and this was recommended online. This is a really addictive and fun game! And unlike anything I’ve seen before, so I’m really excited about that.

The controls are a little wonky (scroll up to go down and vice versa) but other than that it’s easy to learn and play. I also really appreciate the ability to play at my own pace and leisure, I can come back to a level until I’m ready to move on. 

If you enjoy word searches or games like Boggle, you should give this a try. 👍
