Long words matter
The scoring model rewards satisfying long-word plays instead of making obscure two-letter tactics the whole game.
The pitch
Less bonus-tile fencing. More actual words.
Long Words shares the familiar language of classic word games: board, rack, tiles, turns. The difference is the strategy bends toward longer words, softer play, and a chat-first table feel.
- Local solo matches against Biblio
- Pass-and-play on one device
- Game Center turn-based human matches
- Daily seven-letter riddles planned for MVP
Chat stays on the table
Human chat and Biblio's comments live above the board, not hidden behind a separate inbox screen.
Biblio reacts
The bookish cat companion adds word facts, encouragement, jokes, and cozy grumpiness while you play.
Forgiving tools
Trade and Zap mechanics are designed to reopen stuck boards and make casual word play feel less punishing.
Design direction
Tea, books, terracotta, sage.
The current design language is warm cream paper, soft terracotta, sage accents, ink, rounded typography, and Biblio peeking into the board like he has opinions about your rack.
