Glomp

Every day, everyone in the world gets the same twenty letters. There's a sentence somewhere in there.

Glomp is a daily word game with a pulse and a personality. Twenty letters drift onto your screen as physical objects — different sizes, real weight, tumbling and clustering around a creature in the middle. That creature — it's shrinking. It's hungry. It's Glomp. And it will absolutely tell you what it thinks of your last word.

FEED IT OR LOSE IT

Tap four letters or more and submit. A real word gets swallowed, and the shrinking stops for a while — three seconds per letter. A four-letter word buys you a moment. A nine-letter word buys you half a minute. Go quiet for too long and it collapses.

THE LETTERS DON'T SIT STILL

No grid. No neat little tiles. Every letter is a physics object that drifts, bumps and clumps. Tilt your phone and the whole board leans with you. Drag the Glomp around with your finger to go hunting.

And a word only counts if its letters are actually touching the Glomp, or chained to one that is. So a nine-letter word isn't a vocabulary flex — it's getting nine circles into a line while they wander. Can you do it?

TODAY'S SENTENCE

Along the top sits a row of empty circles: a short aphorism hidden in today's letters, with only its shape showing.

Hold a blank and the letters that word needs come swimming toward it through the crowd. Tap it to send your selection. Get it exactly right and those letters lock into place — and the Glomp swells back a notch, buying you time you didn't have. Guess wrong but play a real word anyway and it still counts toward your day. Nothing you spell is ever wasted.

GRADED ON WHAT'S ACTUALLY THERE

A typical day hides well over two thousand valid words, so your score isn't a tally — it's a percentage of what today's letters can genuinely make. Long words count for far more than short ones because they're far harder to build. Anything near 100% is a serious performance.

Words are checked against Princeton's WordNet, so plurals and irregular forms land the way they should.

THE SAME TWENTY, ALL DAY

Each day's pool is fixed, hand-checked, and identical for every player on the planet. Play a word and its letters come straight back. You never run out of letters — just words. Each word counts once, so the easy ones go early and the hunt tightens as you go.

IT TALKS BACK

Glomp is not a silent partner — it's audibly delighted when you turn up something good. (You can turn that off if it interrupts your flow.) Underneath, the music climbs a tempo every time it shrinks — by the end you can hear how little is left.

BRAG ACCORDINGLY
