Snake Butt Words

Drag a snake through a board of letter keys to spell words. The longer the word, the bigger the score. HOW TO PLAY • The board is 6 by 6 letter keys, laid out like a keyboard. • Hold and drag the snake through neighbouring keys to spell a word of 3 or more letters. Corners and diagonals count. • Let go to play the word. Used keys drop away and new letters fall in. The snake has a face and a flicking tongue. The name is exactly as silly as it sounds. KNOW BEFORE YOU LET GO While you drag, the word turns white when it's a real word and shows exactly how many points it will score. No guessing. LONG WORDS PAY WAY MORE Every word scores letters x letters x 10: • 3 letters = 90 points • 5 letters = 250 points • 8 letters = 640 points BONUSES • Dark blue letters add +30 each. • Every board has a ladder linking two distant keys. Ride it end to end to skip the letters underneath, and get +15 for each one you skip. NO TIMER There's no clock, so take as long as you like. Instead, each round gives you a limited number of words to fill the points bar. Every word costs one, whether it's 3 letters or 8, so a short word is a whole turn spent. Rounds keep coming, and each one wants more points from fewer words. A word only counts once per round. Your best round is remembered. THE DICTIONARY About 52,000 curated words, with offensive words filtered out. THE DETAILS • iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape • Works fully offline • Haptic feedback on iPhone • No ads • No in-app purchases • No accounts • No data collected Made by Kim Manis.
