SpellTower is a puzzle-based word challenge that offers several game modes. Relax and try to get a high score, play a strategic game by not letting your tower reach the top, or try your hand in a fast-paced mode of rising rows of letters. The ultimate goals of all modes are to create words from a board of mixed up letters.

Sit back and unwind. After a long day, open Tower Mode and just see how many points you can get from the 100 letters on the board. Take your time and make longer words for a higher score. This is a very relaxed mode with no rushing or time limits.

Keep your tower low. There are two different game modes that challenge you to keep your tower from reaching the top. In Puzzle Mode, a row will be added to the board with each word you make. In Rush Mode, an additional row of letters will be added every so often. Whichever you choose, just make sure to keep your tower from becoming a high-rise.

If you feel like company. If you really like SpellTower and want to challenge a friend, this option is available. Create words to drop onto your friend’s tower and see how high theirs is rising in the shadows. There are not as many puzzle options in Multiplayer mode, but it is always fun to beat your best buddy, right?

What is it about?

Different from Scrabble-type, turn-based sorts is a fun game to play on your own. SpellTower is great because it provides various types of game modes, so there one for every mood or taste. Shoot for a high score, keep your tower low, and then take on friends in multiplayer mode if you’re feeling lonely.

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.
