New type of word puzzle game. Learn vocabulary while having fun! Connect blocks that contain pairs or triplets of letters, to fill a board of an arbitrary shape. The board is a pixel-art drawing that points to hints of the types of words that you may make. The main rule is that you always have to connect a piece to an existing one by making a new word. For instance, if you have the piece "ble" on the board, you can place the syllable "ta" next to it because it creates a word, "table". Features: * 60 hand-crafted unique stages. * Multiple solutions to each puzzle. * Compete with friends for a better score. The longer the word, the higher the score! * A daily riddle to assemble a hidden word from syllabits. * Look up words (using system dictionaries). * Listen to the pronunciation of words. * Dark mode.
