Forge words by clicking an onset onto a rime, drafting fresh blends as you climb the levels.
Was this fun?
How to play
At the start of each level you draft a consonant blend into your toolkit, then forge every target word by snapping an onset tile to a rime tile. A correct pairing lights up the target. Some words stay locked until you have drafted the blend they need. Clear all the targets to advance.
Pick an onset, then a rime, to build a target word.
Draft blends such as sh, th or str to unlock the words that use them.
Light up every target on a level to move on.
Clearing levels quickly and accurately scores higher.

Tips & strategy
Sound the onset and rime aloud together, if it makes a real word, it will forge.
