Battle the "Scroodles" in this fresh, fast, and fun word game! Use eight random letter tiles to form a word each round. Then use the points from that word to fight the enemy drawings, called Scroodles. After you go, its the Scoodles' turn to spell! It may sound simple, but each of the 180+ levels offers a new twist to keep things challenging! Are you smarter than the Scroodles? ** FEATURES ** * FUN CHARACTERS - Control a lonely eraser in his quest to defeat a group of mischievous drawings. Watch as Scroodles are drawn to life at the start of each level, then create words to erase them! Every Scroodle is colorfully illustrated and animated with individual voices and character profiles! * SCROODLE STATS - Each Scroodle has unique stats for health, intelligence, and speed. Some Scroodles also cast ‘Word Spells’ requiring smart strategies to defeat. * POWER-UPS - Randomly generated power-ups add keep the action fresh and challenging. For example, can you find a way to use that 'P' in a word to freeze a Scroodle? * GAME BOARD MADNESS - Every level also has a different 'board' layout that can include board powers such as Double Word or Triple Letter. Can you use that high scoring 'Z' as the third letter in a word to take advantage of the Double Letter square? * COMPETE WITH FRIENDS - See how you measure up against your Facebook friends with level-based leaderboards! Now a note from the Wizard: "Hey Dummy, bad guy here dropping you a quick note. Someone with your IQ should really spend their time mindlessly popping bubbles or swapping candy blocks. Don't bother with this game, my Scroodles are too intelligent. Keep on swiping. Bye." Wow, rude! So, are you up for the challenge? Ready, Set, Spell!

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.
