About Letterpeak
Letterpeak is a free daily word game. Every day everyone gets the same ten words, from 4 letters up to 10 (the long ones come twice). A short clue describes each word. You type the word; if you are stuck you buy a letter, and every letter lowers what the word is worth.
How the score works
- A word is worth its length × 100: 400 for the first, 1,000 for the last two. A perfect day is 7,600.
- Buying a letter costs 100 of that word. A wrong word also costs 100 and shows a letter; a typo that is not a word costs nothing.
- Each word has its own clock: 30 seconds for short words, up to 50 for the longest. When it runs out, the word is passed with 0.
- Every word you solve swings the hammer of the funfair's high striker, and the puck climbs with your total: over the rides, through the clouds, into space. Solve all ten without help and the bell rings.
The words and the clues
The clues are written for this game, not copied from a dictionary. A day runs from easy to hard: the first words are everyday words with direct clues; the long ones mix easy words with harder ideas. If a second word fits a clue just as well, we accept it too; tell us when you find one.
The other players
There are no accounts, no names and no leaderboard. When enough people have played, the end screen shows where your total stands among the day's players and how many solved each word without help.
Who makes it
Letterpeak is made by a small independent studio from Istanbul, the same people behind synergyle.com and numblitz.com.
