What Makes Kattam – The Box Stand Out
THE STAGE – A box. Words popping out with missing letters. Ominous looking tendrils peeking out from the top.
THE GOAL – Keep your words from flying off the top.
YOUR MOVES – A moving buffet of random letters to choose from.
HAMMER TIME – To help you squash those marooned words.
That's it! No ads, no tracking, no coins, no weekly subscriptions to get more vowels; Just words – coming at you like a horde of wilderbeast.
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Challenging but no score. Or Improvement over last time.
A good game made all kinds engaged with thinking.
Nice game to pickup as a filler. Love how the hammer slowly rises up until its ready to be deployed to demolish those pesky bricked words. Would be nice though if the game could be sped up, like it can be slowed down.
The game is good but sooo very slow … Too boring.
Like the fun, simple concept. But the game doesnt correctly recognize words. In the very first game we played it said July isnt a word. Given the fast paced nature of the game it is unforgivable and demoralizing when youre doing your part and the game itself is sabotaging your ability to win.
Wordle got us interested but Kattam keeps us satiated. Love the concept and execution. Its highly addictive and has various difficulty levels to keep you engaged.
Super fun and easy to figure out right after you start the game. It has different levels and each one keeps you on your toes. Definitely worth the download.
If you like Wordle you should give Kattam a try! Its like Wordle where youre guessing 5 letter words but with the added time pressure of avoiding death by stack, Tetris style. Nicely polished and addictive.
Great fun and highly addictive!! One of the best things one could buy for a dollar these days.
Good new concept in word games, makes you think fast. Great for kids to learn, recall and play with words.
