Glyph

Word-tile roguelike

Glyph is a solo word-tile roguelike for PC. Each round gives you a rack of letters, a board with a scoring grid, and a target score. Place tiles to spell words, then use intersecting words and board bonuses to raise your score. You have a limited number of hands to beat the target; run out before reaching it and the run ends.

Scoring and builds

Beating a round takes you to a shop, where you can spend your winnings on glyphs, tile upgrades, and bonus cells. These effects change how words score, from boosting certain letters to rewarding repeated letters or particular word categories. You can build around vowel synergies, consonants, repeated-letter echoes, or categories such as mythic creatures and archaic English.
