Every day, everyone in the world gets five minutes and the same twenty letters. How many words can you form? And maybe more importantly: just how good are those words? Glomp is a daily word game with a pulse and a personality. Twenty letters drift onto your screen as physical objects with different sizes and real weight, tumbling and clustering around a creature in the middle. That creature — it's Glomp. It's hungry. And it absolutely will tell you what it thinks. FEED IT Tap four letters or more and submit. Glomp swallows real words. Longer words with rarer letters earn more points. THE LETTERS DON'T SIT STILL There's no grid and no cute little tiles — every letter is a physics object that drifts, bumps and clumps. Tilt your phone and the whole board leans with you. A word only counts if its letters are actually touching Glomp, or chained to one that is. So a nine-letter word isn't just a vocabulary flex — it's getting nine circles into a line while they wander. Can you do it? GRADED ON WHAT'S ACTUALLY THERE Words are checked against Princeton's WordNet, so plurals and irregular forms land the way they should. THE SAME TWENTY, ALL DAY Each day's pool is fixed, hand-checked, and identical for every player on the planet. Play a word and its letters come straight back. You never run out of letters — just words. Each word counts once, so the easy ones go early and the hunt tightens as you go. IT TALKS BACK Glomp is not a silent partner — it's audibly delighted when you turn up something good. (You can silence it if it interrupts your flow.) Underneath, the music's tempo climbs as time runs short. BRAG ACCORDINGLY Finish and you get your streak, the standout word you found or missed, and where you placed against everyone else playing today. Share it with your friends! Game Center leaderboard and achievements: a seven-day streak, ten sentences solved, a word over seven letters, and seven words inside thirty seconds. GLOMP+ For the most devoted wordsmiths, Glomp+ offers a premium experience: • Unlimited play • Multiplayer mode: play against Glomp or your friends on Game Center • Word Journeys: stretch your vocabulary to the limit with this test of endurance • Scarcity Mode: make the most of a limited set of letters ALSO INCLUDED • A tutorial • A word bank holding every word you found today • Light and dark themes, or just follow your system • Separate music, sound and haptics toggles, plus a motion-sensitivity slider Twenty letters. One hungry Glomp. Words you can't unsee. Go ahead — get Glomped.
