Zynga has just unveiled an exciting new feature for its popular game, Words With Friends, called Letter Lock. This eagerly anticipated solo mode is a game-changer, and there are other fresh updates too. Dive in to learn more about what's new and exciting in Words With Friends.
What’s Letter Lock in Words With Friends?
Letter Lock is a captivating single-player daily puzzle that brings a unique twist to the gameplay. Unlike traditional word games where you type in words, such as in Wordle, Letter Lock challenges you to slide columns of letters up and down to form real words in the entry row. As you successfully create words, more columns unlock, allowing you to build even longer words until you reach the puzzle's word-length goal. Be cautious though—each incorrect guess reduces your hearts, and losing too many will end the puzzle prematurely.
While Letter Lock differs from Wordle in mechanics, it shares a similar spirit of quick, clever, daily word challenges. To get a better feel for this new mode, check out the trailer below:
The Game Is Trying to Keep Things Fresh
Yaron Leyvand, the executive vice president of mobile games at Zynga, emphasized that Letter Lock is a direct response to the desires of long-time players. Introducing new gameplay elements is crucial for keeping the game vibrant and engaging.
In addition to Letter Lock, Zynga is also launching the Spring into Words event, featuring numerous new daily puzzles and challenges. Players can enjoy solo modes like Guess Word and Crosswords, along with spring-themed rewards, new Tile Styles, and other special events.
