Spell a word. Play its shape. In Worrrds, the letters you choose become the blocks you drop. Find a word, flip the board, and guide your creation into place. Clear a line and watch the pieces above fall into new possibilities. THE WORD IS ONLY HALF THE PUZZLE Choose letters anywhere on the board, in spelling order. Their positions determine your next shape, so a clever word can also be a clever move. MAKE ROOM FOR ONE MORE WORD Slide and rotate your falling blocks. Disconnected groups settle separately, opening up gaps and setting off cascades. Keep clearing lines before the stack reaches the top. MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT Build longer words, clear several lines at once and chain cascades for bigger scores. Use bomb letters to blast open space and rails to sweep a row or column. PLAY YOUR WAY • English and French word play • Separate Game Center leaderboards for each language • Achievements to unlock • Light and dark themes • Satisfying animations and haptic feedback • Offline play, with your run saved between sessions Free to play. No ads. No in-app purchases. Game Center features require an internet connection.
