Verbosity: Last Word

Verbosity is a word game for anagram fans. Every day, the free Daily Run gives every player on Earth the same seven letters, and you see where you placed in the world. Find every word hidden in your letters, from short words to the one word that uses all seven. Long words and rare words score the most. While you spell, an alien beast chases you across five planets. Each word you find fires a bolt from the device on your wrist and knocks it back. When you stop to think, it closes in, and a word that is not in the dictionary lets it lunge. HOW A RUN WORKS Make words of two letters or more, then tap ZAP or anywhere on the screen to fire. Longer words, rare words and fast spelling score more. Hits without a miss build a hot streak that multiplies every word after it. If the letters stop making sense, tap JUMBLE or shake the phone to reorder them. Each planet hides words that belong to it, like TRAM in Toxic City. Find one and it fires a superblast that throws the beast far back and scores two or three times as much. Good words also charge your flares. A flare throws the beast back without a word, but it ends your streak. The five planets are Toxic City, Bioluminescent Forest, Drowned World, Frozen Waste and Cinder Plains. Each run starts on a different one. Last ninety seconds and a dropship beams you up to the next. MODES Daily Run is free. Every player in the world gets the same letters on the same planet, with one attempt per day. See where you placed in the world that day, and share your score without giving away the words. Campaign takes you from planet to planet, ninety seconds each, until the beast catches you. Endless has no clock. The ship comes only when you find every word your seven letters make, and the beast gets faster with each planet. One purchase, Full Clearance, unlocks Campaign and Endless. There is no subscription. Training teaches the game in about two minutes on a real run, with the beast held still until you are ready. Game Center has leaderboards for high score, planets cleared, words in a run, longest streak, Daily Run and Endless, plus 32 achievements. Verbosity has no ads and no account. It plays offline and collects no data, and the word list was checked for all ages. On iPhone, a haptic heartbeat speeds up as the beast gets closer.
