Word Bump

Word Bump was one of those games you'd find during the Flash era, a simple word puzzle that loaded right in your browser. It came out in 2008, a time when a quick, clever game was just a click away without any downloads.

You control a cursor, clicking on adjacent letters to form words before the tiles rise from the bottom. The main goal is to clear all the golden tiles at the top of the board by making words beneath them. You can chain letters of the same color for a combo, and if a gold tile sinks too low, the game ends. The pace starts relaxed but steadily quickens, pushing you to think faster. It feels like a quiet race against a rising tide of letters.
