About

Lettower

Turn a handful of random letters into a tower that reaches the sky โ€” one word, one floor. Lettower is a word game where knowing words isn't enough โ€” you also need strategy: turn the letters on your rack into one long word, or several short ones? Risk a rare letter, or play it safe? Every choice reshapes your tower โ€” and your score. THE GOAL Spell a real word from 7 to as many as 14 random letters and add it as a new floor to your tower. The longer the word, the bigger the score multiplier โ€” splitting a long word into shorter ones rarely pays off, so the game rewards boldness and a quick vocabulary. RULES AT A GLANCE โ€ข Build a word from the letters on your rack and submit it โ€” if it's in the dictionary, it becomes your tower's next floor. โ€ข Longer words score more โ€” the multiplier grows with every letter past three. โ€ข Extensive options let you reshape the rules however you like: word-length limits, a minimum number of vowels, letter exchanges, a chess-clock turn timer, your own letter-bag composition, and more. 6 GAME MODES, FOR 1 TO 4 PLAYERS โ€ข Race โ€” everyone gets the same letters, first to finish their tower wins. โ€ข Survival โ€” wrong words eliminate you; outlast your opponent. โ€ข Time Attack โ€” score as many points as you can before time runs out. โ€ข Puzzle โ€” only words meeting a condition count, e.g. exactly 4 letters long. โ€ข Last Letter โ€” a finite set of letters; squeeze the most points out of it. โ€ข Battle โ€” a shared letter pool in real time; whoever grabs a letter first gets it. Plus Custom โ€” set every rule yourself, including the win condition. HOW TO PLAY Play solo, pass-and-play "hot seat" on one device, or true split-screen on iPad โ€” two boards side by side, both players playing at once. No one to play with? Take on the bot at four difficulty levels. L+ works offline, turn-based (play at your own pace, the match waits for your move), and online in real time โ€” online play requires an active Game Center account. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Lettower combines the simplicity of a letter game with the thrill of building and competing โ€” like the "one wrong move and it all comes down" tension of a stacking game, except here it's not physics that brings your tower down, it's a wrong word. LOOK UP WHAT A WORD MEANS Not sure what you just spelled? Tap any word on your tower to see its definition โ€” a great way to grow your vocabulary while you play, not just check it. You can also look up your opponent's words from their mini-tower preview. LANGUAGES AND DICTIONARIES 3 full game dictionaries โ€” Polish, English and German โ€” and an interface available in the same three languages. A great way to brush up on a foreign language while you play. THEMES Change how the board looks: Colorful Day and Colorful Night are available right away, the Neon theme comes with premium โ€” with more themes on the way. You can even sync the theme with your system's light/dark mode in Settings. FREE TO PLAY, NO ADS Lettower is fully playable for free with no ads: two game modes, matches for up to two players, both base themes, every dictionary, and word-meaning lookups. Premium (subscription or lifetime purchase) is entirely optional and simply adds more fun and variety: it unlocks the remaining game modes, matches for up to 4 players, extensive options, the Neon theme, and unlimited simultaneous turn-based matches. Build a tower taller than your opponents. Build it out of words.
