What Makes Antigrams Stand Out
Antigrams is a word game where the goal is to NOT make words.
“Surprisingly fun.” -Bennett Foddy, creator of QWOP
Move letters from the top of the stacks to fill the slots below. Be careful – any combination of 4 or more letters that can be arranged to form a word will bust you and add more letters to the grid. When the grid goes off the top of the screen you lose.
Features:
- Unique, brain-twisting gameplay
- Endless, randomized levels
- Global and friend-based leaderboards
- Single-player ranking system to track your progress
- Dozens of special slots and tiles
- Original soundtrack from club legends Everybody House Mafia
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
What a clever idea here! Its a refreshing twist on the genre. Its challenging, but not frustrating. We find it more enjoyable and relaxing than other word games Ive played. We do wish it saved progress mid-game if you have to quit during a long run, but its still fun regardless. We really appreciate the fair premium price with no ads or IAP, and its good on battery and storage, and the privacy policy is good too. Even though it could maybe use an update for larger screens, and to allow saving, its still good as is. Thank you for a good game.
A neat twist on the word game. Now that we're a big boy in the big city we can get some of the same feelings again we had playing GHOST with our dad.
This game is keeping us up at night!! Love words games of all shapes and sizes but never played one where you are avoiding making words….UNTIL NOW.
Despite being an entirely different game, Antigrams feels like Drop7. The simplicity of the mechanic and its UI belies something deeper — a devilish, challenging, and thought-provoking inversion of our expectations of word games. Here, the vastness of the English language works against you. Worth playing for lovers and haters of language alike.
This game is more clever than it looks at first glance. It twists your brain to fit a challenge that isn't posed by any other word games. It also looks and sounds nice, and is just smartly done overall.
Super clever and a ton of fun. Can't wait to add this our morning commute game rotation.
Call us crazy, but the soundtrack strikes us as pleasantly Kanaga-esque.
We love this game- we think the idea is clever and creative, and we can play for literal hours at a time. The only issue we have is that sometimes we get busted for words that… The game doesnt even have definitions for- our most recent example is VITA- we have no clue what that means, and clearly neither does the game! We dont know what kind of dictionary is being used, but theres not really the option to check or change that yet. Ive also noticed some spellings to be decidedly British English, and as an American player, it gets a little confusing, and frustrating getting busted for a word that to us isnt really a word. All in all, AWESOME game, definitely worth the low price! Id love to see some dictionary differences for sure, though.
We love this game, we've been playing it for awhile now and we realized something odd, when spell a word, when you click definition, it shows the word on top but no definition. Please fix and we'll give this game the best 5 star review you've ever seen.
