Lettergrove is a PLYZ original word game. Sixteen letter apples hang in a four-by-four grid; drag across touching letters, in any direction including diagonals, to spell a word of three letters or more, and let go to score it. You can also type words on a keyboard.
Longer words are worth much more and add time to the clock, so it pays to look for them. Every grid is new and is checked before you start, so there are always plenty of words to find; when time runs out the game tells you how many you found and the longest one you missed. The word list was written for PLYZ: about 2,800 common, family-friendly English words.

Tips for Lettergrove
Look for common endings like -ER, -ED and -ING to stretch short words.
Five-letter words add six seconds, so they buy time as well as points.
The list holds common everyday words; names, plurals and very rare words mostly do not count.
