Find and swipe (or tap!) words in 4 challenging modes. Make long words or use bonus tiles to clear extra letters from the screen!
* WORDS + STRATEGY = AWESOME *
Pick your words wisely! As you work, more tiles rise from the bottom of the screen, and it'll take all of your lexicological wits and tactical know-how to keep them down. If any of the letters make it to the top row, it's game over.
* FOUR AMAZING MODES *
- TOWER MODE : No pressure here. Try and get the highest score possible out of 150 letters, eliminating small words to set up 7- and 8-letter blockbusters!
- PUZZLE MODE : Every word you make adds a new row of letters! Strategic word finding at its best.
- EXTREME PUZZLE MODE : Puzzle mode with the minimum word length cranked up. Experts only!
- RUSH MODE : Rows of letters build up over time. Find words as fast as you can, but be careful you don't back yourself into a corner!
GAME CENTER leader boards and achievements for each mode and highest scoring word!
What's New in Version 2.1
Thanks so much for loving SpellTower! This update has only a few new things, but I tried to add some things you've been asking for. Now that it's done I'm all ready to start working hard on a multiplayer mode :) Keep your eyes open for more updates soon!
Please don't forget to rate SpellTower again if you love it!
I really hate those nagging 'please rate my app' pop-ups, so against the advice of my friends, I haven't put them in SpellTower. Help me prove to my friends that developers don't need to use nagging popups! :)
- added word list for post game to see what words you made
- improved dictionary
- fixed performance on ipod 4, improved performance on iphone 4
- fixed game center nagging (hopefully!)
-Now requires minimum iOS 4.2 due to errors in 4.1
Customer Reviews
Amazing!
So much fun! Great update. Thanks so much.
Great!
Awesome, challenging game. It seems like there's no coding that prevents getting huge strings of consonants, though. Or is that just bad luck? Either way, good game :)
The cleanest word game out there!
I have tried (names of many other lesser word games deleted per Apple's request) and many, many more. This is the one word game I always come back to, the only one I never delete, then add back on, then delete again to make more space for other games. It is perfect for a mobile device because the design is so clean. And please never add pop-ups! You don't need them!
