Word Battle

Start the in-game Tutorial mode to get step-by-step instructions on how to play the game.

In Campaign, build an army from Bible words and destroy the enemy castle before yours falls.

Make a word

Three different input methods to create words:

• Drag across neighboring letter stones, including diagonals, then release to submit.
• Tap neighboring stones in order, then tap the last stone again to submit. To submit a one-letter word, tap the same stone twice.
• Use the keyboard by focusing the grid. The arrow keys move between stones, Space selects, Enter submits, and Esc clears your selection.

If a longer word is rejected, its path stays selected. Tap or drag back to an earlier stone to shorten it. Tap a stone away from the end of the path to start a new word.

Build your army

1. Spell Bible words. In Campaign, each letter in a new Bible word becomes a soldier for you. Other valid dictionary words recruit for the enemy. Repeating a word on the same verse clears its stones without adding soldiers.
2. Look for gold words on the scroll. Gold means you can spell the word on the current grid. A match turns every occurrence of that word green. Find each playable word once to advance to the next verse.
3. Choose recruits and upgrades. Matching a new verse word can let you choose Castle Archers, Archers, Speeders, or Tanks. In Campaign, four new verse matches fill the upgrade meter. Combat continues while you spell and make choices.
4. Watch for Meteor stones. In Campaign, a word that uses one calls down a strike for the side that word helps. The strike deals 5 damage per letter and uses up those letters.

Drag the battlefield to pan. Pinch, scroll, or use the + and − buttons to zoom. Select Fit battlefield to return to the overview.

After a win, choose Next Level. Levels get more difficult as you progress through the campaign. If you lose in Campaign, choose Retry Level to try the same battle again.

Challenges

• Wave of 100 — Defeat 100 attackers arriving in eight waves. Bible words recruit defenders. Other valid words clear stones without recruiting.
• Meteor Strike — One valid word outside the Bible brings a giant meteor down on your castle.
• 1-Hit Wonder — Win with just one point of castle health.
• Reversal — Bible words recruit for the enemy. Each new valid word outside the Bible lets you choose recruits for your side and counts toward your next upgrade.
