Word × tower defense

Alpha
Battle.

Spell to survive. Arrange letters into words, forge towers on a parchment battlefield, and hold the line against waves of ink-born enemies. Every word counts.

// how it plays

Four taps.
One run.

No tutorials after the first. Every run is a fresh sheet of parchment and a new wave of enemies.

01

Draw letters

A rack of lettered tiles sits at the bottom of the parchment. Rarer letters score more and forge stronger towers.

02

Spell a word

Tap tiles to arrange a word of 3 or more letters. The longer and stronger, the better.

03

Forge a tower

Tap any empty square on the grid to forge your word into a tower. Place it on 2X or 3X squares to multiply damage.

04

Hold the line

Waves of enemies advance along the path. Keep spelling. Defeat them to earn credits.

// in hand

Straight from
the device.

Three frames from a live run. Parchment, ink, and a rack of hard-won letters.
