## What is Spellwell?

Spellwell is a word game of falling letters and real magic.

Letters drop into an old stone well in a moonlit wizard's study. Trace touching letters in any direction, diagonals included, to cast a word and clear it away. Keep casting: cursed rows rise from below, and if the well fills, the run is over.

TRACE WORDS
• Join neighbouring letters up, down, sideways or diagonally
• Longer words multiply your score: ×2 for four letters, ×4 for five, ×8 for six, ×16 for seven or more
• Cast again quickly to build a combo and multiply it further

CAST SPELLS
• 118 everyday words are words of power: FIRE, FROST, STORM, GOLD, RAVEN and many more
• Twelve spell families change the board: burn letters away, blast a hole, hold back the cursed rows, call lightning onto the tallest columns, wash, blow and lift tiles away, purify cursed letters, slow time, double your points, send a familiar to eat awkward letters, or conjure a star tile that counts as any letter
• Every spell you discover is written into your spellbook

FAIR LEADERBOARDS
• Ranked: one free run a day, no hints, on the daily, weekly and all-time leaderboards
• Keep a daily streak going
• Cheat-proof leaderboards

LEARN AS YOU PLAY
• A short tutorial on your first run
• Practice as much as you like, with hints if you want: the well suggests a word when you're stuck
• Then go Ranked and test yourself
• Your dictionary keeps every word you have cast, with its meaning

A WIZARD'S STUDY
• The menu is the study itself: tap the cauldron to play, the crystal ball for highscores, the lectern for your spellbook
• A spellbook with pages that turn like paper
• Music, sound and haptics

FREE TO PLAY
Free to play. One ranked run a day is free; watch an optional video for up to three more. No banners, no pop-up ads, no account. The game plays offline; the leaderboard is optional and only asks for a nickname.

One optional upgrade: Spellwell Plus (monthly, yearly or once for life) plays your 3 extra ranked runs a day without ads, adds a Plus mark by your name and room for a second streak freeze. It never adds runs or points: everyone gets the same 4 ranked runs a day.

The words are English.
