Find words. Mine letters. Dig paths. The game starts with a board of letter tiles and one tunnel tile, which is where you start mining. Find words to mine letters and dig paths to reach new areas of the game board. Score points for the letters you mine and the length of the words you find. Each board is procedurally generated so no two games of LetterMiner are exactly the same. There are two ways to play LetterMiner. See how high a score you can get on a single board. Or play a multiple level mode where you have to meet ever increasing quotas and deal with supply and demand for the letters you mine. Mine too much of a letter, and its value drops.
