About TetraText: Word Block Puzzle
Letters are falling. Spell fast, clear lines, and stop the grid from filling up. TetraText is a word game built on falling blocks. Slide the letters, stack them, and spell across or down to clear them away. Every word you find buys back space. Every second you hesitate, the grid climbs higher. WHAT'S IN IT - A dictionary of over 144,000 words, so obscure spellings and clever plays actually count - Tap any word you play to read its definition, right there in the game - Four grid sizes, from a 3x6 round in a queue to a sprawling 11x22 run - Three difficulties that change how fast the letters come at you - Five power-ups: Bomb, Pause, Sneak Peek, Reload and Shuffle - Twelve leaderboards, one for every grid size and difficulty - Daily rewards, achievements and visual themes EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN If you can spell CAT, you can play TetraText. If you can spell it in four seconds while three more letters are dropping, you can top a leaderboard. Free to play. See how many words you can find before the grid finds you.
What’s new
Version 2.1.1 · Updated October 18, 2026
TetraText 2.1.1 — a Daily Challenge, 48 achievements, runs you can resume, and coins on a new scale. TODAY • Daily Challenge: one run a day on a 5 by 10 board, with the same letters for everyone. You get one try, it has its own board on Ranks, and the run over card lets you "Challenge me" with a link. • A Today row on Home shows the Daily Challenge and your Daily Reward, lit up when there is something to do. The gift icon gets a dot when a reward is waiting. • Reminders, only if you want them: at most one a day, before your streak resets or when a new challenge is ready, and never on a day you have played. Turn them on or off in Settings. ACHIEVEMENTS • 48 achievements on a new screen under You, each with a reward: a power-up or coins. Tap one that is done to collect it, or Collect all. • Hidden ones read "???" with a hint until you find them. • The run over card names what you just unlocked, and You gets a dot while something is ready to collect. • Your past games count: tiers you had already reached are marked collected. • They are mirrored to Game Center. YOUR RUNS • Leave a run and come back to it: Home shows "Your run" with RESUME, for up to a day. Starting another board asks first. • Out of letters with no Reloads left? End run finishes the run with its score instead of losing it. Restart board is gone. • The Huge 11 by 22 board now has its own boards on Ranks, counts your best and pays coins. • New sounds for every drop, landing, word and bomb, and sound and vibration are on from the start. • Smoother: the game now runs at 60 frames a second. • Play with a keyboard or a game controller as well as touch. COINS • Coins are now on a scale ten times bigger. Your balance is multiplied by 10 once, and prices and rewards use the new scale. • The Shop has five coin packs and Remove ads, which also gives you 300 coins. • A short video gives 10 coins, up to 6 times a day. • Sign in once to keep your progress and get 50 coins. • Daily rewards run as a 7-day streak that starts over. • A new account gets one of each power-up after its first run. • Buying power-ups asks first, and lets you pick how many. YOUR PROGRESS • Sign in with Game Center and your progress follows you to a new iPhone or iPad, or after a reinstall. If this device already has progress of its own, you choose which to keep. LIGHT MODE AND THEMES • The game now follows your iPhone's light or dark mode. Prefer it dark? Settings > Appearance > Dark. • Every theme comes in Light and Dark. • New in the Shop: Glacier and Rosewood for coins, Aurora and Velvet to buy, each shown live before you buy. Earn Aurora and Velvet free through two Gold achievements. AROUND THE GAME • The game opens straight to Home, with no PLAY tap. • On iPad, play in landscape too: the whole screen at a size you can read, your games beside the boards on Home, and the board between your words and the score of your last word. • New players start straight in a short guided run instead of reading cards first. • No download on first launch: the word list comes with the game. • Notices pop up as a clear card you can tap away. FIXES • On Ranks, your pinned row now matches your place in the list when scores tie. • The word prompt no longer shows over the quit question. NEW IN 2.0.8, IF YOU ARE COMING FROM 2.0.6 • Coins you buy on iPhone and iPad are added as soon as the purchase completes. • Your coin history names where each coin came from.
