Spell Cascade
Trace words across a letter grid, watch the tiles fall away, and snuff the rising fire before it reaches the top.
How to play
Drag across touching letters to spell a valid word. The word's tiles disappear and the columns collapse under gravity. Each attempt you commit — valid or not — pushes a burning tile one row higher. Consume that tile or drain the whole board before the fire reaches the top to clear the round.
- Spell valid words to remove tiles; longer words score more.
- Every committed attempt advances the fire one row upward.
- Include the burning tile in a word to defuse it.
- Clear the board to win; let the fire top out and you lose.
Controls
- Desktop: press and drag across adjacent letters, then release to submit.
- Phone & tablet: drag a finger across touching letters and lift to submit.
Game modes
- Daily seeded grid or endless Practice, on 6×6, 7×7 or 8×8 boards (bigger boards burn faster).
Tips & strategy
- Avoid wild guesses — even a failed attempt feeds the fire.
- Prioritise words that pass through or near the burning tile when it climbs.
- Clearing low columns triggers collapses that set up fresh long words above.
