Read full description

Block Words brings two favorites together: the relaxing block puzzle and the joy of spelling words. Drag letter blocks onto the board. When a row or column is full, it clears. If it holds a word, you score bonus points. And a word with five or more letters also blasts the line that crosses it. HOW TO PLAY • Place blocks on the 8×8 board • Full rows and columns clear • Words with 4+ letters in a full line score bonus points • Words with 5+ letters set off an extra blast • The game ends when no block fits WHAT YOU GET • Blast: play endlessly and beat your high score, no timer • Daily challenge: the same blocks for everyone, plus a word of the day • 100+ levels with their own goals when you want something different • Daily tasks and a day streak that reward you every day • Your word collection: every word you spell is saved • Words in 14 languages, including English, German, Spanish, French and Turkish A quick game on the go or a long session in the evening: Block Words trains your vocabulary and spatial thinking along the way. Block Words is free to play and contains ads and optional in-app purchases.
