About

Word Stacks Game

Features
Read full description

Form words, clear tiles, and outsmart the board in a word game that rewards both vocabulary and strategy. Swipe across adjacent letters to spell words, then watch tiles cascade, rows explode, and your score skyrocket. 【THREE WAYS TO PLAY】 Tower Mode lets you clear a full board at your own pace — no timers, just pure strategic thinking. Puzzle Mode raises the stakes as new rows push up from below after every word. And the Daily Challenge gives all players the exact same board, so you can compare scores with friends. 【SPECIAL TILES CHANGE EVERYTHING】 Not all tiles are created equal. - Green tiles clear their entire row when used in a word - Star tiles multiply your score — use them in longer words for massive bonuses - Numbered tiles unlock only with longer words, rewarding skilled players with higher point values - Dead tiles block your path, forcing creative solutions 【A SCORING SYSTEM YOU CAN SEE】 Every score is calculated transparently: letter values × word length × star multiplier. The formula is shown in real-time as you select tiles, so you always know exactly why a word is worth what it is. Longer words earn dramatically more, and smart tile choices can multiply your score even further. 【TRACK YOUR PROGRESS】 Earn 14 achievements across multiple categories — from your first word to a 30-day daily streak. Track your stats including total games, words played, high scores per mode, and current streak. Every game counts. 【DESIGNED FOR WORD LOVERS】 SpellTower Puzzle plays offline with a built-in dictionary — no internet needed. Your progress saves automatically after every word. An interactive tutorial teaches you everything in minutes, and the warm, inviting design makes every session a pleasure. 【Terms of Use (EULA)】 https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Premium subscribers enjoy an ad-free experience.
