Beyond Words

Beyond Words combines roguelike strategy with word-crafting. You form words on puzzle boards, build combos and unlock upgrades as you progress through runs shaped by your decisions. Familiar word-tile mechanics make it easy to pick up, while its strategic systems offer depth to master. The game requires a good understanding of English.

Shape each run

Every board has its own puzzle, with shifting rules, layouts and objectives that require you to adapt. You can change letter scores, duplicate letters you want to use and destroy ones you do not. Modifiers, stickers and enhancements let you bend the rules, while planning routes to powerful pickups can set up high-scoring combos.

More than 300 modifiers and abilities include supercharged tile types, booster cards, power cards, pickups and perks. Their combinations create opportunities for different strategies, and your expanding toolbox gives you new possibilities as you progress.

Challenges and modes

You face more than 30 boss challenges, each of which twists the rules. Optional time-attack boards let you tackle puzzles at a faster pace, and you can also take on time attacks, seeded runs and negative-scoring challenges. Escalating targets and endless play provide further score challenges.
