Letterage

I’ve been trying to get picky about new games because my game routine has grown ridiculous. In the morning, I play 9 games while I drink coffee. After work, I play 7 games before I start dinner. 16 games. Per day.

Granted, most of them take under two minutes, but still, that is about a half hour of my day given over to naming countries and guessing words.

A game needs to be exceptional to enter the rotation. Letterage is the latest game to achieve that status. It’s the final game in the evening queue.

You can play with 60 or 30 letters. The letters fall into slots on the screen, and you spell a word using your letters, like Scrabble. The difference is that you don’t have to hook onto any word, and you get more points if you use a letter more than once. For instance, if you had C – Q – K – E – N – R – T (you always have 7 letters at a time), you could spell “cent,” but you’d get more points for “center.” Once you use the letter, it disappears, though it may come back in a different set. The letters that fall into the slots change each day.

Enjoy!
