About

Typecast

Features
Read full description

Typecast is a word game you can really get into. Build words, make unexpected connections, and think a few moves ahead. Form a word from the available letters, choose a Target, and cast. A Judge scores the connection and responds with a little personality. Better connections earn better results and help you clear the board. There is no single answer to guess. A familiar word, a precise description, or an imaginative connection could be your way through. The challenge is finding a strong fit with the letters you have. YOUR NEXT WORD IS A DECISION Several Targets compete for your attention, and your moves are limited. Choose where to cast and when to use your Silver for help—or save it for a harder challenge. THREE WAYS TO GET INTO IT • Classic: Explore familiar things through fresh connections, from music and weather to food and celebrations. • Stories: Follow Alice into Wonderland, travel around the world in eighty days, or enter the wit and romance of Pride and Prejudice. • Discoveries: Trace ocean voyages in Age of Exploration and the surprising pasts of everyday words in Hand-Me-Down Words. Progress through rounds and levels, get to know distinctive Judges, and develop your own feel for what makes a word work. Pick a Target. See where your words take you. Play Classic and 80 Days free. An optional Typecast Premium subscription unlocks every premium campaign. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled. You can manage or cancel App Store subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://playtypecast.com/tos Privacy Policy: https://playtypecast.com/privacy
