Down Words is a single-player puzzle game that plays like a word version of Tetris. Letters fall one at a time from the top of a 10-column grid. Your job is to guide each letter left or right so that it lands in a position that will eventually spell one of the target words for your current level.

  • Each level gives you 10 vocabulary words to find and spell.
  • Letters fall from the top of the grid. You steer them left or right before they land.
  • Once a letter lands, it stays put. Gravity pulls all letters downward whenever a word is cleared and tiles are removed.
  • A word can be spelled horizontally or vertically, and it can read left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top.
  • When the game detects a valid word on the board, those tiles are cleared automatically, points are awarded, and remaining tiles fall to fill the gaps.
  • Clear all 10 target words to advance to the next level.
  • The game ends if a column fills up completely to the top and a new letter cannot be placed.
