Verbena — a cozy word roguelike.
Spell words. Grow your garden. Chase the bloom.
Verbena blends the calm of a cozy garden with the moreish "just one more run"
of a roguelike deckbuilder. Draw a rack of letters, spell words to reach each
season's goal, then visit the Garden Shop to collect enchanted charms — a
Sunflower that adds to every word, a Dewdrop that rewards vowels, a Lucky
Ladybug that multiplies your score. Stack charms into run-defining combos and
see how many seasons your garden can survive.
No timers. No pressure. No ads, ever.
A fresh fusion — word game meets roguelike deckbuilder
Collect from 17 charms (with a Charm Codex to complete) and build wild combos
Special seasons add twists — gentler goals, bonus leaves, lusher words
Daily Challenge — everyone gets the same letters; build your streak
A garden that blooms through Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter as you climb
Cozy visuals, a soothing synth soundtrack, and a relaxed turn-based pace

Universal — plays on iPhone and iPad
Accessibility-minded: no timers, Relaxed difficulty, VoiceOver, readable-letters, reduce-motion, a Hint helper
