About

Starts as Boggle, ends as Schrödinger - Cursed Words is a roguelike adventure about writing words... for a while…until words become NUM83R5, or ♔♘♙, or the infinite void.
Each run is shaped by four pillars: your Character, your Sticker upgrades, your Stamp loadout and the consumable Tiles you bring into each fight. Every attempt becomes its own cursed experiment.
In Cursed Words you build powerful synergies using Stamps and Stickers, face tricky boss encounters and push your score higher with every stage. A base level run features five stages, each one with two encounters and a boss. Beat Stage 5 to win the run, then take on special Challenges and Crown difficulty tiers that redefine the rules and push your creativity.

Blaze a path through cursed bosses and uncover secret items and challenges that completely change the way the game is played. How about all consonants? Maybe all vowels? How about no letters at all?
A whopping 300 stickers and stamps to boost your scores and break the game
11 characters with dramatically different playstyles
20 bosses that’ll try to sabotage your runs, or can be manipulated into multiplying your score even higher
26 unique challenges that completely change the rules of the game

And if all that wasn't enough, mastering each Character's Pin and playstyle is only the beginning. You can prove it wasn't just a fluke by taking on the Challenge Crowns, where Score Targets are bigger, Shops are more expensive, and you'll have to really break the rules if you want to succeed; or you can take on Quests, specific modifiers to the game's rules that will really put your skills to the test...

I was not expecting t get as much juice as I have from this! "Strap in things are about to get weird" - E
Hey this game is absolutely amazing. No notes. Worth every penny.
Balatro fellows, this is your new fix. Scrabble players, this is your new fix. Humans, get cursed. 100% love it, 100% worth it. I hope we get a cursed word & pronoun palace cross-over.

Most word games want you to already know lots of words. In this one I've somehow learned more words than I've submitted. The build diversity is deeply compelling; the game has a strong sense of humor and will keep surprising you. Well worth playing if you like roguelikes, even if you find letters scary - before long, those same letters will seem quaint.
BOGGLE BUT B♘GGL1NG
good
Great!
Now you too can learn how to spell Q??4?♜S? E: There is, unfortunately, a light hissing / breathing noise that you have totally mute the otherwise good sound effects to get rid of, it's not great on headphones
scramble but balatro
A great game that sucked me in for a month straight. Great community on discord that is very helpful to explain to me some complex mecanics. A great mix between boggle and balatro. One the best roguelikes I had the opportunity to play. Le dictionnaire en français est très pratique pour les personnes ne parlant pas anglais même si le jeu n'a pas été équilibré pour notre dictionnaire (+- facile de caler les lettres).
