What Makes literally – word game Stand Out
literally is a word game in which your main opponent is time. This is a race in which you have to collect words from letters so that the game does not end.
you've probably missed the standard feature lists, so I've prepared another one for you:
• a story consisting of 200 levels and 77 tasks. you can't think of a better brain workout (of course, if you don't feel like reading books; books are the best)
• 66 aphorisms are frantically waiting for you to decipher them
• simplified mode for those who do not like to rush
• minimalistic design and incredible Ukrainian-made fonts
• statistics that analyze to the smallest detail what you wasted your time on
• surprisingly catchy animation in the main menu
• power saving mode, which will help kill the battery more slowly (for example, by turning off the surprisingly catchy animation in the main menu)
This Word game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is very original and keeps you on your toes. Great for the fast thinking challenge.
Enjoyed aiming for 3 stars before moving on. Also appreciated there were no ads or gimicks to distract from the purpose of the game. Helped us relax when we just needed a brain challenge, but was physically tired. Perfect to play while trying to fill asleep to keep our mind busy and just breathe.
Really entertaining for passing time. We like that theres a limited number of achievements, but then we also enjoyed it so much that Im sad we finished them all. Wish there was random achievements to attempt when doing practice or rush mode so Id continue to feel motivated to play after finishing story mode. But otherwise, still love it.
TO DEVELOPER: When we get pretty far is there is a character that shows up that looks like a circle with a line underneath it. It doesnt work with any English words so we wonder if its leftover from the previous non-English version? Or did we miss what that character is supposed to do? (It looks like a lollipop with a very short stick).
Ive noticed that everytime we get a word, the whole grid gets bigger and then falls back down to the screen, and the tiles all glitch a little. For some reason this has only started happening since we updated to ios17. Other than that, its pretty a pretty good game.
Its fun with the right amount of pressure build-up and skill. Thanks for making this game.
Fun and challenging game with just enough pressure to keep you on your toes. You can tell the developer put a lot of thought into the design. Theres also a sweet celebration after completing all of the games.
This is a good game especially since you can play it very fast paced if you can think of a lot of words quickly Although sometimes we get characters that arent from the English language like a c with a line in it? What do these mean.
If doesnt have words such as receipt, recipe. It tried to say that the work token wasnt in its vocabulary.
As a literature major, Im blowing through this game with 150-200+ words per game. That being said, it isnt properly tracking our statistics or unlocking missions based on our used words. Theres also a section in our menu that is fully not in English (perhaps Russian? Just a guess) we think this has potential to be a great game if you work out some of the kinks.
Absolutely fantastic word game. Its so refreshing to see one thats not just how many words you can make from 5 letters Its fast paced but if youre pretty good at word games you can keep it going for quite a while. Story mode is great and we love the challenges you need to complete. Please keep this game going and adding story levels. Would love to see timed variation too.
When Im bored, we enjoy picking up our phone and messing around on a game for a few minutes. This is one of those games that help us pass the time but also helps us get smarter while Im playing it. Id recommend this to people like us who have some time to waste. There are no obnoxious ads, and its fun. Overall a really good game! Cant wait to witness what it becomes in the future. :).
We like this game because its tricky and trilling so far there has been no ads and there is many levels happy playing.
Very relaxing word game with simple interface and controls. However, the story mode is poorly designed as each level has a given objective but the game doesnt display a progress meter on how close you are to completing the objective. The level also does not end when the objective is complete.
