About Cursed Words: The Word Game That Isn't

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...

Scrabbalatro. Really sweet, you don't have to have a crazy vocabulary to enjoy it either.
Recommended Sep 23, 2026
Just excellent. It neatly fits into the Balatro-like genre of taking an established type of game, providing the player with a bunch of ways to cheat and/or break that game, and putting that into a roguelite, run-based structure. For my money, this is the best-designed example of that type of experience. Genuinely really clever, some fascinating mechanics, great progression. Awesome achievement!
Recommended Sep 22, 2026
Incredible combination of a roguelike and a word game that just [i]keeps getting weirder[/i] and more varied the more you play it. This is one of those games where the phrase "no two runs will be the same" actually rings true. Also, lovely character designs, visual effects and soundtrack!

If Bookworm Adventures and Balatro had a child, this is the child.

Love Boggle? Love Balatro? BUY THIS GAME! It's my new addiction!
