Stack. Spell.
Survive.
Letters drop into a rising pile. Tap them into your tray, spell a word, and clear space before a column hits the red line. Longer words score far more, up to ×8, so every word is a gamble.
Three moves. Zero typing.
WordSpawn is pure tap-and-drag word action. It's easy to pick up, and it gets frantic fast.
Stack
Letters drop into a seven-column pile and keep on coming. Tap or drag the ones you want into your tray.
Spell
Spell any word from 3 to 7 letters. Every extra letter raises the multiplier, all the way to ×8.
Survive
Each word clears space. Let a column reach the red line and a countdown starts. Wait too long and the drops speed up.
Play across four themed worlds
Every world has its own look and a live soundtrack that builds as the pile rises.
Jungle
Vines, fireflies and a marimba groove.
Space
Drifting arpeggios among the stars.
Ocean
Waves, bubbles and vibraphone tides.
Magic
Sparkles, celesta and shimmering spells.
Short words clear space.
Long words win games.
Every word scores its letter values times a length multiplier. Spell fast to keep the pile down, or hold out for a big one. Just don't wait too long.

Every level is a new board
Each board has a goal, from spelling five words to breaking locked tiles. Clear it for a pile bonus, then face faster drops and new twists.
Clear goals
Spell five words, land a six-letter word, break three locks. The goal is always on screen, and the next board raises the stakes.
Locked tiles
Stone tiles stuck in the pile only break in a word at least as long as their number.
Bombs
Use a bomb in a word before its fuse runs out, or it blows up and buries you in extra letters.
Wildcards
A ★ counts as any letter. Long words earn you more of them.
Crossword boards
Every fifth level, drag letters into a crossword grid while the pile keeps rising.
Escalating pressure
A gentle first board, then faster drops, a surge when you hesitate, and bigger starting piles.

Every run plays differently, so you'll always want one more go.
Tap-and-drag play
