Description
The original best-selling mobile word game, reimagined!
Pick your words wisely! As you play, more tiles rise from the bottom of the screen! It'll take all of your lexicological wits, and tactical know-how to keep your columns down. If any letters make it to the top row, it's game over.
Classic modes Daily Tower, Tower, Puzzle, Rush and Zen are all back and packed with brand new BONUS TILES that double (or more!) word values.
Joining them is the brand new Search mode, plus ExPuzzle, Double Puzzle, Bubble Puzzle, and Blitz mode!
That’s eleven modes in all!
Plus iCloud Backup, Highscores reported for games even while in-progress, detailed statistics for every mode, Game Center leaderboards, and achievements.
—————————
It’s pretty wild to be revisiting my first hit game, SpellTower. I can't believe it's almost 10 years since it released. The first iPhones it ran on had a 3.5 inch screen and 320 x 480 resolution! I literally did a double-take at that resolution when I looked it up.
A funny part about having a hit game is people talk to you about it. With SpellTower I heard about grandparents playing the game every morning to keep their minds sharp, parents playing it with their kids, expectant mothers playing it to get through morning sickness, and countless sightings of strangers playing it on subways, planes — even elevators.
I got into games because I wanted to connect with people in a positive way. I wanted to help people think critically and come away with more than they arrived with. Games felt like a way to do this on a huge scale, but the stories I heard from SpellTower players taught me that games do so much more for people than I ever expected.
I’m deeply grateful that SpellTower has been able to be something special for so many people, and I think that’s why so many people have shared it with friends, loved ones, and strangers on elevators.
Even though SpellTower is a game I made, it’s really barely mine anymore. The experiences and love I had for the game has been outstripped by its audiences a thousandfold. I thought a lot about all the experiences that people have had with the game when I was designing this new version. I hope it gives everyone who’s loved the game a reason to pick it back up again and share it amongst their friends and family.

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent and unique game
Maybe the best word game in App Store, but Daily search doesn’t show results just now, endlessly ”syncing…”
I like them a lot, but... (game over)
I’ve been trying out these new games (esp. Daily Search and Daily Tower) for a week or so. I like them a lot, just as I’ve liked Spell Tower (and Typeshift) which I play daily.
But. I’ve been getting a lot of disruptions during the game, and by this I don’t mean ads (although naturally I dislike them).
For example:
- sometimes the game does not ”recover” after displaying an ad, and the game ends. If the game is a Daily” one / the latter of a Daily ones, I’ve ”lost” my chance of playing it for that day.
- sometimes when I check an email etc on another window the game ends / does not continue.
- 10 minutes ago I got a new one: after an ad finished I got a ”Game abandoned” -message in the middle of today’s Daily Search. I feel pretty disappointed, since I’m only learning the strategy (how to play it) and I really concentrate on it as I’m learning. Then: poof! Gone.
I hope you’ll be able to fix these bugs soon(ish) and after that I’ll be happy to purchase the ad-free product (like I did with the original Spell Tower when it came out).
A big thank you for these excellent games!
EDIT: about Daily Search. After the ”GAME ABANDONED” -message I just got it still shows me that ”todays’s game” (14 Feb) is still ”unplayed” and tells me to ”tap to play”.
But when I tap to play it leads me to the next page where it says ”2/14/2020 • Played once • Finished”.
I hope this helps.
