Wordpile

Hi there. We made this game for the Havi Egy Játék ("one game a month") 2025 June jam. We were aiming for the theme "not what you expected", although if you glance at a screenshot you'll probably figure out the deal and know exactly what to expect :).

Gameplay

Make words using the free (bright) tiles: the ones that are on top and don't have two other tiles right beside them (so mahjong rules). Try to remove all tiles from the board; remaining tiles will incur a penalty.

When you submit a correct word, the point values of the letters are added up and a bonus multiplier is applied: the longer the word, the bigger.

Zen mode

A relaxing puzzle experience with no time limit.

Countdown mode

A more intense action puzzle mode, where you lose if you run out of time. Starting time is based on the initial tile count and you get extra time by submitting words. Extra time amount is calculated by multiplying the word's total point value with a value based on difficulty level.

Controls

Click/tap letters to select them. Keyboard typing is also supported.

Click/tap Submit, press Enter or right click to submit a word.

Use Backspace to remove last letter.

Hold Backspace, press Delete or middle click to clear all letters.
