A panicked wizard clutches a glowing T9 keypad spellbook as word blocks reading Wizard, Spell, Fireball, Magic and Danger rain down among slime monsters.

How to play

Three steps to wizardry

Blocks carrying words fall toward you. Type each word on the keypad before it lands.

Gameplay: green word blocks labelled how, wage, last and guru fall toward the player, with guru locked on and half typed.

STEP 01

Words incoming

Every enemy is a block carrying a word, falling toward the grey block at the bottom of the screen: you. Destroy it before it gets there.

STEP 02

Work your T9 magic

Press each letter's number key once, so wizard is 949273. Your first key locks onto a matching word. Finish its code to blast it.

Once you're locked on, wrong keys are simply ignored, so stay calm and keep typing.

3LIVES
5WORLDS
50WAVES
5BOSSES

STEP 03

Survive the onslaught

Let a word reach you and you lose a life. Clear ten waves to face the world's boss, then type whole sentences to chip it down. Words get longer every world.

Flawless words grow your score multiplier. Grab rising powerups for an extra life, half speed, short words or a screen wipe.

Your flip phone is the controller. Your typing is the weapon.

Each season brings its own leaderboard, so every season is a fresh shot at the top spot.
