About

Word Play is a brain-busting spelling game about making words, getting perks, and scoring big. Imagine your favourite word game - but where you get to change the rules and the tiles as you play! How to Play Spelling Click, drag, or type to spell the best and biggest words you can find. Scoring Score points based on the value of each letter, and the length of the word. Perks Score enough points to clear the round and you'll get a chance to pick from more than 150 perks! Playing with Perks Modifiers Modifiers change the rules of the game, in your favour. Add more tile spaces, build Bonus Points, make Q tiles become QU tiles, and more. Upgrades Upgrades let you improve, destroy, discard, or duplicate tiles. Gifts Gifts add new tiles to your letter bag. Like wildcards, mirror tiles, and the legendary + tile. Special Tiles Upgrade tiles to special forms like Golden, Diamond, Emerald, and Potion, to score more points. Score Big! Synergies and Strategies Combine modifiers, upgrades, gifts, and special tiles in clever ways to score big! Difficulty and Modes Special Rounds Watch out for devious Special Rounds that require perfect play. Roguelike Structure Can you reach the end of the game without running out of 'Plays'? Or will you have to start again from scratch? Difficulty Settings Learn the ropes with Easy mode, then try Normal, Hard, Legendary, and Marathon modes. Casual Mode Play with fewer strategic elements in Quick Play - just spell words and try to win medals! Other Features Accessibility Features Play with mouse, keyboard, or controller. Use dyslexic fonts and / or high contrast mode. Get spelling suggestions. And more. Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud Unlock more than 20 achievements. Sync your save games across devices using Steam Cloud. Steam Deck Verified Play with gamepad controls, or fluid touchscreen input. Graphics and options are tweaked and tuned for the Steam Deck.
