Wordtris

Review

Arrange falling letters to form words and clear the board, using bombs to remove letters and advance through levels.

Wordtris was released for the Game Boy in 1991 by Spectrum Holobyte. The original game was also released in 1991 on other platforms, so the original release year is the same.

About Wordtris

Wordtris is a puzzle game where letters descend into a play area. The objective involves arranging these falling characters to create complete words, which then disappear from the screen.

Progression to higher stages is achieved by clearing a required number of words before the space becomes filled. Player score is directly influenced by the length of the words formed, with longer combinations yielding greater points.

Occasionally, bombs appear among the letters. These items provide a method for removal, capable of eliminating either individual letters or entire columns based on their specific type.
