Have you always wanted to play a game where you wish you could make up your own words but you can't? welcome to Letterfull! The game where you must manage to form words without filling the five by five game grid. The mechanic of the game is quite simple. The game board consists of five rows of five columns, which may contain letters that appear faster every level. With the letters that appear, you must form words by touching the letters with your finger. When you touch a letter, it will move to the bottom of the board, after the separator, i.e. the word you are trying to form. To submit the word and check if it is correct, (must have at least 3 letters and be in the dictionary of the chosen language -more on that later), you can tap the submit button (or double-tap with 2 fingers if you use VoiceOver). If you want to send all the letters back to the end of the game board, either because you made a mistake or because you saw another letter that can form a better word, you can tap the move all button or, if you use VoiceOver, do the back gesture (2 finger scrub). You can also tap one letter of the letters you have in your word to send it back to the end of the game board. The game is available in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian, and changing the language does not involve any change in the game interface, only in the dictionary used to check if the words are correct. For people learning English, Catalan or another language available in the game, it can be very useful.

Roll again to make it bigger—or Farkle and lose the lot. Bank before your luck runs out. **Spend It in The Shop** Between Bouts, spend your winnings on Charms, Packs, Action Cards, and other upgrades. Don’t like what’s on the shelf? Redraw it and hunt for the piece your build needs. **Face The House** Every night ends with a boss that changes the rules. THE MISER, for example, won’t let you Bank until your Pot reaches 500. **Then Do It All Again** Every Bank and Farkle adds to your final score. Unlock 14 Dice Bags, tabletops, discover new combinations, and see how far you can push your next run.
