About Wordbound

A mysterious event called The Scramble has vanished pieces of reality and left strange, out-of-place objects scattered across the world. Use your powers as a wordsmith to fix it!

Stretch objects until they burst into letter tiles, rearrange tiles to spell new words, and squish words to create objects.

  • Dozens of detailed dioramas full of hidden clues and challenges
  • Simple and intuitive drag and drop controls
  • Over forty collectable Sparks scattered across multiple chapters
  • Original soundtrack by Adrian Talens, composer of Poly Bridge
