Letters fall, bump into each other and pile up. You make words and the pile goes down. Lexics is a word game with real physics: every tile bounces, spins and settles wherever it can. No two runs are ever the same. HOW IT PLAYS Move the tile as it falls and drop it where you like. When letters in a row spell a word from the dictionary, they clear and you score. If the pile reaches the top, you are done. FIVE MATERIALS • Wood: the normal tile, good grip. • Ice: slippery, mind where you put it. • Stone: heavy, and it crushes whatever is underneath. • Gold: worth double points. • Bomb: blows up everything around it. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Normal: full physics, tiles roll and the pile grows crooked. • Easy: on a grid, every tile lands straight and stays put. A 1,000-LEVEL ADVENTURE Every level asks for something different: reach a score, spell long words, survive on a fixed number of tiles. Up to three stars each. DUELS ON THE VERY SAME TILES Create a duel, play your run and pass the code to anyone. Whoever gets it plays exactly the same letters in the same order, so the better placement wins. No turns, no waiting: each of you plays whenever you can. SIX REAL LANGUAGES Spanish, English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese, each with its own dictionary and its own letter distribution. ALSO • Optional on-screen controls that you can drag anywhere. • Light and dark themes. • Music that speeds up as you level. • No sign-up, no account: open it and play. Free, with ads.
