Nerd Werds

The word game for non-English majors.

Spell with the periodic table. Keep the singularity from swallowing the lab.

Coming soon to iPhone & iPad

Every tile is an element

Welcome to the Lexical Hadron Collider. Element tiles stream out of the quantum vent, and your job is to spell words with them before the singularity meter fills and the whole lab collapses.

Words score by the atomic numbers you use, and the nerdier the word, the bigger the multiplier.

Nerd words ×π

Phasers, wookiees, quarks: words from science and fandom score more. Deep cuts score ×τ.

Theme words ×e

Every level has a theme. Spell on it for a bonus on top of everything else.

Everyday words ÷φ

Cat. Run. The. Once you know the ropes, small talk doesn't impress anyone.

Something is coming through the wormhole

Your first shift goes fine. Then a signal arrives from deep space, the reactor overloads, and ALBERT, the lab's friendly AI, isn't himself any more. Meet TREBLA. Forty-five levels across three acts, told in comic-strip cut scenes.

The astronomer at her monitors as a strange signal arrives
An astronomer picks up a signal no one can explain.
A hostile asteroid city bearing down on Earth
The Collapsars want a singularity.
An agent in a dark suit holding up a strange pen
Nobody will believe any of this.

What's in the lab

45 levels

From easy everyday words on your first day to Star Trek, Doctor Who and cosmic horror.

Power-ups

Freeze the board, contain the meter, annihilate tiles with antimatter, or feed one to a micro-singularity.

Strange physics

Dark matter letters no element has, and superposed tiles that are two elements at once.

Learn without trying

Play long enough and you'll know your periodic table. Sorry about that.
