A falling-block puzzle where the lines only clear when your letters spell a real word.

How to play
Chunks of letters fall one at a time into a narrow well. Slide and stack them so that a complete row, read left to right, spells a valid dictionary word, the moment it does, that row clears and the stack above collapses down.
Each piece is a syllable-sized chunk: a single letter, a pair, or an affix like UN-, RE-, -ING, -LY or -ED.
Fill a row that reads as a word (e.g. UN + FI + T = UNFIT) to clear it and score.
Affix chunks score a bonus, so plan around prefixes and suffixes.
The fall speed rises with each level, clear words before the well stacks to the top.
Controls
Desktop: Left/Right arrows move the chunk, Down soft-drops, Space hard-drops.
Phone & tablet: on-screen buttons for left, right, soft drop and a wide Drop button.
Game modes
Daily: everyone gets the same seeded stream of chunks to compare scores.
Practice: an endless random run to sharpen your word-building.
Tips & strategy
Leave a gap for short connector letters so half-built rows can still resolve into a word.
Hold an affix chunk over a near-complete row to snap a long word together for the bonus.
Keep the stack low and flat; a tall jagged well kills your options fast.
