Can of Words

     

Find words in your alphabet soup in 10 game modes.

Game Modes

Each game mode has their own small variation, the web demo only contains Alphabet Soup and Loop Soup. All modes require words to be at least 3 letters.

• Alphabet Soup - main mode, 4x4 grid and 2 minutes, pick only adjacent letters
• Smol Soup - smaller grid, less time
• Loop Soup - 7 letters that can be chosen in any order
• Halfabet Soup - uses only half the alphabet on a 4x3 grid
• Fly Soup - umm, waiter! there's a fly in my soup that's blocking my letters
• Soupagon - only 3 letter words that give 1 second on a small hexagon grid
• Crumbly Soup - letters are slowly swapped out
• Tower Soup - each word ascends you up the letter tower (bottom row of letters is removed)
• Four Soup - 4 letter words only (no easy 3 letter words here)
• Zen Soup - take your time and end the round when you fell like your done

Game Seed

Each game mode (except Soupagon) can be assigned a seed to generate the letters. This is chosen before 

• Random - for quickly starting a game
• Daily - single attempt seed that is generated based on the day
• Seeded - allows choosing a custom seed value, even sharing one to compete with friends!
