Les lettres tombent. À vous d'en faire des mots avant que la grille ne déborde. Lettroid est un jeu de lettres nerveux à l'habillage néon : touchez les lettres posées sur la grille pour composer un mot, validez-le, et regardez les lettres restantes s'effondrer pour laisser la place aux suivantes. COMMENT ON JOUE • Les lettres tombent une par une dans une grille de 6 colonnes • Glissez la lettre qui tombe pour choisir sa colonne • Touchez les lettres dans l'ordre pour former un mot d'au moins 3 lettres • Le mot devient vert dès qu'il figure au dictionnaire, rouge sinon • Validez pour encaisser les points : plus le mot est long, plus il rapporte • Saisissez une lettre posée pour la déplacer vers une autre colonne • En dernier recours, balayez une ligne pleine pour l'effacer (3 fois par partie) • La partie s'arrête si la grille déborde DEUX MODES, NEUF NIVEAUX • Contre-la-montre : tenez jusqu'à la fin du chronomètre • Nombre de lettres : épuisez le stock de lettres du niveau • Neuf niveaux de plus en plus longs, débloqués au fur et à mesure DEUX VRAIS DICTIONNAIRES • Français : plus de 318 000 mots • Anglais : plus de 172 000 mots • Intégrés à l'application : aucune connexion nécessaire pour jouer CINQ THÈMES Chaque thème a sa couleur néon et sa forme de lettre : Classique, Cœurs, Émeraude, Ambre et Améthyste.
