Tetris is a fun retro themed word game Falling blocks of letters keep coming and coming, you have to organise and make words to clear them. To help you, you can rotate and reorder the letters in the pattern (or it'd be very very hard!!) - Find out how good your Textris skills are, and challenge your friends. There's three modes in Textris - Classic, Endless and Daily. Classic is the standard game, it starts slowly with easier blocks and gets harder and faster as your score climbs. When your blocks reach the top, GAME OVER. Endless is a chilled version of the game. You can't lose, but you can just practice your word making skills. High score is disabled. Daily mode is for the aficionados. It's a high paced & difficult game that everyone around the world plays together. You're high score is against just for that day, and you can only play it once!
