Lextris: A Dynamic Puzzle Game for Word Lovers
Our upcoming mobile game, Lextris, challenges players to form words from falling tetronimos while racing against the stack. With strategic frozen substrings and daily challenges, it's a fresh twist on a classic format.
What happens when tetronimo blocks meet word puzzles? You get Lextris! Our take on combining two beloved genres into something entirely new. Currently in development for mobile, Lextris challenges you to build words while managing your rising stack of letters.
How the Game Works
In Lextris, blocks with letters fall from the top of the screen one at a time. You can slide them left or right, rotate them, and decide when to drop them into place. Your goal is to arrange these letters to form real words on the board.
When you create a word that is three letters or longer it lights up. You can optionally tap these words earning you points and clearing space. You'll need to think ahead and place letters carefully to keep the board from filling up.
Each level gives you special target words to find. These are key words you must spell in order to complete the level and move on. Finding regular dictionary words helps you score, but the target words are what really matter!
Two Ways to Play
Daily Challenge - One puzzle, same for everyone, once per day. Compare scores globally and build streaks. It's your morning coffee game that connects you with players worldwide.
Random Mode - Jump in anytime for a unique challenge. Different letter distributions and target words keep every game fresh. Chase high scores and perfect your strategies without pressure.
More Than Just Words
Special blocks add a bit of extra variety and opportunity!
- Bomb blocks clear 3x3 areas when they land
- Shuffle blocks scramble nearby letters for new possibilities
Scoring rewards clever play with combos, level multipliers, and word values. Finding multiple words simultaneously triggers satisfying combo animations and massive point bonuses.
