A competitive, real-time PVP game. Throw words at your opponent strategically and as fast as you can. It’s easy to pickup. Hard to master. Perfect spelling exercise for kids and adults learning English! Expand your vocabulary. The more words you know, the better you fight. In SpellQuick, players must create words from the letters that they have in their tile racks, before propelling them towards their opponent to deal damage in this real-time multiplayer word game. The more obscure and difficult the word, the more damage you do. However, that's not all, as players can also use their words in order to defend themselves from those that are being hurled in their direction by their opponent. Keep firing those three-to-eight letter words, as only one player can be left standing at the end of the battle. Improve your puzzle solving skills at fast and furious paste!
