About

Spellbound Grimoire

Features
Read full description

Open the grimoire. Spell words from a hand of letter tiles, clear each round's score threshold, and build a vocabulary engine that snowballs out of control. Every run is a fresh draft. Collect charms that bend the rules — quadruple your rare letters, multiply palindromes, gild a vowel — then stack them into combos that turn a five-letter word into thousands of points. Level your favorite word lengths with Codices. Aim tile packs at the exact letters you want. And inscribe your OWN words into the dictionary, where they score for the rest of the run. Then face the Reckoning. Twelve bosses bend the rules — vowels score nothing, your hand shrinks, a letter is forbidden — and you see each one coming from the start of the chapter, so you can build against it. FEATURES • A deep word-roguelike: 50+ charms, 12 bosses, and dozens of synergies to find • Five deck archetypes that reshape your run from the very first tile • Inscribe custom words — the one thing only you can do • Seeded runs with shareable codes — race a friend on the exact same deal • Ascension stakes and an Endless mode for the score-chasers • Designed for one hand, in portrait NO NONSENSE • No ads. No in-app purchases. No timers, no energy, no daily-streak guilt. • No accounts, no login, no tracking, no data collection. • Opens straight into a game. It's a word game with the depth of a roguelike deckbuilder. Spell something spectacular.
