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
Nice improvement but with bugs still
I am a long time SpellTower user of many years. There are many nice improvements in this version and I bought it. I am experiencing occasional bugs where the game acknowledges a word but when I tap the word it won’t submit it. This most recently happened when I challenged a word: zines. It was accepted, and the game offered me 205 points for it, but I could not tap on the word up top and submit it. Would not submit, so I had to give up and play a different word. When these bugs are fixed this will be a great improvement over the old version!
My only other complaint is that when I submit a word, I (and my battery) could do without the haptic fireworks. There should be a setting for more minimal haptic.
Nice, simple word game
I tend to be bad at these kinds of word-connect games, but I gave it a try anyway. It didn’t take me long to learn how to play, which is great. I love the chill background music and simple graphics. Some things could be tweaked, in my opinion. Like when completing a word, the pop up is too quick for me to read. But I didn’t encounter any bugs.
I love that it seems like you just pay once to unlock the full game. No subscriptions or sounds to buy, as far as I can tell. So if you’re into word games like these, I’d suggest giving it a try!
Simple but challenging
Several variations on a clever but simple theme make this a great value. I’ve been playing a ton since I downloaded it; perfect mobile game for those quiet times when you want a fun quick game.
