Letter Quest is a timed puzzle game fun for all ages -- challenging for adults and also educational for young learners when played in Zen Mode. Young children can learn the alphabet by merging letter tiles, which are then used to spell words, and adults can sharpen their mental agility by racing against the clock to spell as many words as possible before the board fills up with tiles.
