Read full description

Capelo is a fast, addictive word game. Swipe across a letter grid to form words and chain explosive combos. Find words on a 7×7 grid by dragging your finger from letter to letter in all 8 directions. The longer the word, the higher the score. Words of 4+ letters spawn bombs that trigger spectacular chain reactions and multiply your points. Used tiles disappear and new letters drop in — the grid never runs out, so the only limit is the clock. How to play - Swipe across adjacent letters to form a word (3 letters minimum) - Release to submit — valid words earn points and add time - Words of 4+ letters spawn bombs that blast surrounding tiles - Explosions chain together for massive bonus points - New tiles fall in to replace every cleared letter — the grid is endless - The clock is ticking: each word adds time, longer words add more 4 languages Play in English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese. Language is detected automatically, or switch it in settings. Each language has its own dictionary and tailored letter distribution. Global leaderboard Compare your best score with players worldwide on the All Stars leaderboard. Customize your profile with a username and a link to your project or website.
