Description from the packaging.

There's a new 'Tris on the block.

If you love Tetris, this newest, fast action, falling block Soviet game will leave you obsessed. This time the falling pieces are letter blocks. And instead of just forming lines, you make words.

Create your own words either horizontally or vertically, but don't put all your Es in one basket. Because every time a word lines up, poof! those letters disappear. The more words you make and the more complex the words, the more points you earn.

Wordtris keeps raining vowels and consonants until you've collected enough words to move to the next level- of the well fills up and the game is over. The challenge builds as the levels go higher and the blocks fall faster and faster. A built-in 60,000 word dictionary gives you automatic proof of even the most obscure word. Let the alphabetical adrenalin flow!

Wordtris \'waerd-triz\n: (1) easy to learn but tough to master; adj:, (2) dangerously addictive.

  • 60,000 Words built in: and you can add your own unique words.
  • 10 Levels of challenge: from beginner to master.
  • Single and multi-player modes: Play by yourself, or play with, or against a friend.
  • Special fun features: Magic words, wild card letters, gold bonus point letters.
  • Original music and sound effects.
  • Includes children's mode.
