Make words from the falling letters.
A word drop puzzle for iPhone. The letters are not random: every round loads real words and feeds you their letters. Everything you are given can be spelled. Whether it is depends on where you put it.
One tap takes a word going across and a word going down, because they share a letter. Both score.
Pre-order it now, and it installs itself on 13 October 2026.
Free to play, no advertising, no subscriptions, no interruptions. We offer a one time purchase to remove the lives, a one time purchase to unlock a 4th life and a way to refill your hints.
One email on release day, and nothing else unless something happens. That is the whole promise.
A confirmation email comes first. Your address joins the list only when you press the link in it.
01How it plays
- One letter falls at a time down a board thirteen columns wide. Tap or swipe to steer it. Swipe down to drop it.
- Three letters or more, across or down, makes a word. The word is outlined rather than cleared, so you can take it or leave it and grow it. CAT becomes CATCH if you feed it the right letters, and the longer word scores as one.
- Cross a word going across with a word going down on a shared letter, and one tap takes both.
- There is no timer and no move limit. The pressure comes from one place: the board only goes down when you find something, and it goes up whether you do or not.
02What it looks like
03No advertising. Stated as a fact, not as a promise.
Of the 45 largest word games on the App Store, 40 carry advertising. Typefall carries none, and these are build settings rather than intentions:
- No advertising. Not between runs, not for rewards, not ever. There is no ad network in the app.
- No account and no sign-in. The app never asks you for an email address or a password. The mailing list above is on this page, not in the game, and it is optional.
- No tracking. The app asks for no advertising identifier, so it never shows the App Tracking Transparency prompt. The usage numbers it does send are anonymous and go out in bands, and a switch in Settings stops them.
- Works offline. The dictionary and the rarity data ship inside the app, so a whole run needs no network.
Hints and the fourth life are also earned by playing. Achievements pay hints as you collect words and as you find rare ones, and they keep paying on score once the ladder is behind you. Collecting 10,000 words unlocks the fourth life outright.

The press kit holds the fact sheet, the icon at 1024, the screenshots framed and unframed, the full clips, the palette values and the typeface name. Everything in it is free to use in coverage of the game, without asking first.
