![]() What do the other new modes have in store? I don’t know! It’s so exciting! Search mode, as explained in the App Store screenshots, tasks you with finding the longest word possible using a specific starred letter. Then there are completely new modes like Search mode, ExPuzzle, Double Puzzle, Bubble Puzzle, and Blitz mode. If you think you’ve mastered the modes in the original game, this should shake things up a bit. Familiar modes like Tower, Daily Tower, Puzzle, Rush and Zen all make a comeback but with a fresh twist as there are now brand new Bonus Tiles that can double (or more) the values of the words you make. SpellTower+ is one part reimagining of the original game, and one part semi-sequel. Nearly ten years in and SpellTower is still one of the very best word games you can get for your mobile device, but that also means it’s kind of due for a refresh. And that was before the numerous updates that have been released over the years that have added in new modes like multiplayer and a Daily Tower, new features like Merriam-Webster dictionary support, and constant updates ensuring SpellTower has always worked on the latest versions of iOS and the latest Apple hardware. There are multiple additional modes that are all pretty much based on these two core modes, and not only did we love SpellTower in our original review from when it released but we also included it as a runner-up for our Game of the Year in 2011. ![]() Make as many words and score as many points as you can before your board of letters reaches the top. The second main mode of SpellTower sees you starting with a screen that’s partially full of random letters, with each word you make raising the board from the bottom by one row. In its main mode you were presented with a screen full of random letters with your job being to clear as many of those letters as possible by creating words and utilizing various special attributes of the board. Released going on ten years ago now, SpellTower was a pretty simple and straightforward idea for a word game that was executed to near perfection, like most of Gage’s work. It’s a curse.Īnyway, one word game that has spent far more time on the “love" side of things for me has been Zach Gage’s SpellTower ($2.99). People do not like playing Words Against Friends or Scrabble with me. Plus I have the type of brain that must stare at a jumble of words and make certain I’m forming the absolute best word possible out of the given letters. That’s not always a bad thing mind you, but sometimes I just want to zone out and match gems or make paperclips, you know? Not do a bunch of thinking. The hate part comes from word games requiring me to use my brain. The love comes from them being the perfect sort of fit for the bite-sized bits of free time that mobile gaming can fill in so well. I have a love/hate relationship with word games.
