Will you find all the hidden letters ? With Lost Words, your goal will be to find all the hidden letters of a given word. You will have 6 attempts to find the right word. While searching for the right word, you’ll receive hints based on your previous trials. Correctly placed letters are shown in green, while misplaced letters are shown in orange. You will be able to play 2 different game modes. One in which you can relax, choose the difficulty you want and train your mind to be a “Lost Words” master. In a second mode, you will be challenged to find as many words as possible. In this mode, you’ll be given a chance to retrieve bonuses, but also beware of maluses. These maluses will make it much harder to find the hidden word. Finally the more you play, the more you’ll accumulate Magma coins which will let you get additional bonuses in the shop. The game can be played by children and adults alike. We have included a “kid” mode with easier and shorter words to find. Set in a beautiful egyptian environment, the game is not only super fun, it is also a great way to train your mind. Download Lost Words for free today!

About

Spellbound Grimoire

Features
Read full description

Open the grimoire. Spell words from a hand of letter tiles, clear each round's score threshold, and build a vocabulary engine that snowballs out of control. Every run is a fresh draft. Collect charms that bend the rules — quadruple your rare letters, multiply palindromes, gild a vowel — then stack them into combos that turn a five-letter word into thousands of points. Level your favorite word lengths with Codices. Aim tile packs at the exact letters you want. And inscribe your OWN words into the dictionary, where they score for the rest of the run. Then face the Reckoning. Twelve bosses bend the rules — vowels score nothing, your hand shrinks, a letter is forbidden — and you see each one coming from the start of the chapter, so you can build against it. FEATURES • A deep word-roguelike: 50+ charms, 12 bosses, and dozens of synergies to find • Five deck archetypes that reshape your run from the very first tile • Inscribe custom words — the one thing only you can do • Seeded runs with shareable codes — race a friend on the exact same deal • Ascension stakes and an Endless mode for the score-chasers • Designed for one hand, in portrait NO NONSENSE • No ads. No in-app purchases. No timers, no energy, no daily-streak guilt. • No accounts, no login, no tracking, no data collection. • Opens straight into a game. It's a word game with the depth of a roguelike deckbuilder. Spell something spectacular.
