How do you play Spellice?+
Words fall from the top of the screen. Type a word into the box at the bottom; when your text matches a falling word it highlights, and pressing Enter shatters it for points. If three words reach the floor you lose. The game is endless, so the aim is a high score.
Do I have to type capital letters?+
No. The game matches your input case-insensitively, so typing in upper or lower case works the same. Just spell the word correctly and press Enter to clear it.
How does scoring work in Spellice?+
Each letter you clear is worth points, so longer words are worth more. Consecutive clears without a miss build a streak multiplier that boosts your score. Every landed word costs a life but does not reduce your accumulated points.
How many lives do I have?+
You start with three lives. Each word that reaches the bottom of the play area costs one life. When all three are gone the game ends and your final score is shown.
What happens when a word reaches the bottom?+
The word is destroyed and you lose one life. An error tone plays and the remaining lives are updated in the status line. Lose your third life and the game over screen appears.
Is there a time limit?+
There is no countdown clock, but the falling words create constant time pressure. The longer you survive, the faster new words spawn and the quicker they fall, so the difficulty ramps up naturally.
Does Spellice track a best score?+
Yes. Your highest score is saved locally in your browser and displayed at the start of each game. Clearing your browser data or switching devices resets it, since the record is stored on your device.
What is the streak multiplier?+
Clearing words one after another without any word landing builds a streak. Each streak step increases a multiplier applied to the points you earn, so sustained accurate typing pays off far more than sporadic clears.
Can I pause Spellice?+
Yes. Press the Pause button to freeze the falling words and the spawn timer. Press Resume to continue exactly where you left off. Pausing is perfect for a quick break without losing progress.
Is Spellice good for typing practice?+
Very. It trains quick, accurate typing under mild pressure and builds vocabulary recall. Because you must spell words correctly to clear them, it reinforces spelling far more actively than passive reading.
Can kids play Spellice?+
Yes. The words are common, the controls are just typing, and there is no inappropriate content. It is a friendly way for children to practise spelling and keyboard skills while playing.
Is Spellice free to play?+
Yes. It runs in the browser with no cost, no account, and no download. Open the page and start typing immediately. Your score and best record stay private on your device.
Can I play Spellice on mobile?+
Yes. Tapping the input opens the on-screen keyboard, and the responsive layout fits phones and tablets. Typing on touch is fully supported, so you can play anywhere.
Why did my typed word not clear?+
A word only clears when your box text exactly matches a whole falling word and you press Enter. A partial prefix highlights the word but does not destroy it. Check spelling and finish typing before hitting Enter.
How do I get a high score quickly?+
Focus on the lowest, most urgent words, keep your streak alive, and don't waste time deleting. Target longer words when safe, and use pause if you need to regroup. Consistent clears beat occasional big ones.
Does the game speed up over time?+
Yes. As your score climbs, words spawn more frequently and fall a little faster. This gradual ramp keeps the challenge fresh and rewards both speed and accuracy as you improve.
What word list does Spellice use?+
Spellice draws from a curated list of common English words of varying lengths. The mix of short and long words keeps rounds dynamic and gives you frequent chances to bank points.
