Bogblit

The game

Bogblit is letter-rain Tetris played on a Victorian game table: wooden letter tiles with brass point values tumble onto baize-green felt and pile up column by column. Drag a path through adjacent tiles to chain their letters into a real word, and the tiles burst into sawdust while the pile collapses. Bank words quickly to stack chain multipliers — but let any column top out and the bog claims the board. Every word must appear in the ledger; Q and Z tiles pay big.

How to play

• Press Enter or click to start the rain.
• Drag the mouse across adjacent tiles (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) to spell a word of 3 or more letters — the path lights up gold and the HUD checks it against the dictionary live.
• Release the pointer (or press Enter) to bank the word: valid words clear their tiles, the pile drops, and points scale with tile values, word length and chain multiplier.
• Invalid words shake the board and reset your chain; Backspace drops the last tile and Escape clears the path.
• Score by spelling long, valuable words before the stack reaches the top — when a column tops out, it's game over.
