Letter Shift is a word puzzle game with a unique gravity-based twist. Build words by using letters from two opposing grids -- tiles fall down from the top and rise up from the bottom, creating cascading chain reactions that clear bonus words automatically. Features Dual-grid word puzzle with bidirectional gravity mechanics Spell words of 4 to 8 letters using tiles from both grids Trigger cascading chain reactions as tiles shift and form new words on their own Endless mode with progressively harder levels and scaling word targets Daily puzzle with a fresh board every day and a 3-star rating system Earn and spend gems on power-ups: Shuffle, Line Blast, Hint, and Unlock Track your stats, streaks, and longest combos Daily spin wheel for bonus gem rewards How to Play Tap letters from either grid to place them in the word builder Rearrange your letters by tapping two slots to swap them Submit your word to score gems and progress toward level targets When a tile is removed, gravity shifts the remaining tiles, potentially forming and clearing bonus words automatically Complete all word targets for the level to advance PowerUps to help to when stuck Watch for bonus tiles that grant extra gems in cascade clears Three invalid submissions and you're out -- choose your words carefully
