Labsylle
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A cool word puzzle game, all about the "building blocks" of the English language.
Labsylle is a puzzle game about syllables. It's easy: swap around these syllable blocks, two at a time, and try to assemble words. That's it! Once you get started, though, it's hard to stop yourself from saying "just one more". Pop in and out of themed puzzle paks at ease — suspend, and resume, exactly where you left off. Perfect to play on the bus, in line, or anywhere you need a quick puzzle fix. Who knows? You might even learn a new word or three!
We're not skimping, either. The game includes over four hundred and fifty word puzzles, and an expansive dictionary of "Quik-Words", for you to barrel through in sixty second bursts — how many rounds can you complete in that time? If you want a break from all the words words words, there are also about 50 bonus puzzles centered on shapes — the perfect counterpart. That's Labsylle, explained to you in one hundred and sixty two words — are you in?

Looking forward to this, like the headline says this looks like a cool word game!
Hey! The game seems great but your link to the official catalog is broken 🙁
(That's because the game isn't out yet)
i know; sorry! this is a limitation of how the catalog pre-release process works — the link will start working right at 10am pacific, on the day of launch. (i only have it listed now because i know i'll forget to do it later haha)
if its still not working when release time comes, try pulling a hard-refresh in your browser (cmd-shift-R in chrome) to jog the cache. that should fix it!
