This game explores the connections between words in the English language. It features two pairs of words, DOG and CAT, and GUITAR and MELODY, to demonstrate how seemingly different words can be related. The game, called Letter Lattice, uses anagrams as connectors to morph from one word to another, with each word being essential for solving the rest of the puzzle. This game was created as a way to appreciate the intertwining nature of words in the English language.
Unlike most word games that focus on finding anagrams within a single word, Letter Lattice challenges players to use anagrams to connect words and solve puzzles. With hundreds of handmade puzzles, players of all levels can enjoy the game and improve their skills. Beginners can start with "Easy Threes" and work their way up to the more difficult "Super-Skull" puzzles.
For those who enjoy competition, the game offers an "Arcade Mode" where players race against the clock to solve procedurally-generated puzzles of increasing difficulty. Bonus points can be earned for finding rare words, and players can strive to reach milestones such as Milestone 5 or Milestone 10.
In addition to providing entertainment, Letter Lattice also offers a sense of achievement. Players can unlock achievements by completing daily puzzles, solving clues, and playing in Arcade Mode. As they progress, they can earn vibrant, hand-crafted color palettes that change the look of the game. With options like the earthy greens of the "Sequoia" palette or the rich pastels of "Coral," there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The game is available for free and includes 20 puzzle packs with over 400 crafted puzzles, infinite procedural puzzles in Arcade Mode, and new puzzles added daily. Players can also track their progress with statistics and achievements and choose from 8 beautiful color palettes.
The full version of the game offers even more features, including 10 additional puzzle packs, more plays in Arcade Mode, and access to the ever-growing Daily Archive. Players can also enjoy 4 additional color palettes, including day/night palettes that effectively add 12 palettes to the game.
The creator of Letter Lattice, Ethan, was inspired to develop the game after playing similar puzzles in a notebook during his New York subway commutes. He spent over a year perfecting the digital interface for the game, and along the way, he discovered the beauty and complexity of the English language. He hopes that players will also appreciate the connections between words and find the same magic that inspired him to create this game.
