The idea

Simple to start. Hard to put down.

Lettus keeps the rules small: one grid, one letter at a time. The depth comes from direction. Words can run across, down and backwards, and every word on the grid counts.

It plays where people already are: free, in the browser, with no download. Sit down alone against the AI, pass one screen between two to four players, or duel a friend online.

How a round plays

Four moves to a win.

01

Pick a letter

Choose from the keyboard and drop it onto your grid.

02

Build a word

03

Score everything
