How to play Vext
Goal: Keep the board from filling up! New tiles spawn automatically - if the board fills up completely, game over.
Make words: Click tiles or type letters to select. Submit with Space or double-Enter.
- 2+ letters minimum
- Valid English words only
- Every 5 words advances the level (faster spawning!)
Neglect System: Use tiles regularly or they lock!
- Tiles track how many words you submit without using them
- After 5 neglected submissions, the tile locks
- Locked tiles need points equal to 3× their value to unlock
- Watch for warning indicators on neglected tiles
Score Multiplier: Build momentum for bonus points!
- Each word fills the progress meter
- Tap glowing checkpoints to activate 2x multiplier
- Higher checkpoints give longer multiplier duration
Controls:
- Type A–Z to auto-select matching tiles
- Space or double-Enter submits, Backspace removes last, Esc clears
- 🔀 Toggle between organized and shuffled board layout
Strategy:
- Balance board space with tile neglect
- Queue shows next 5 letters - plan ahead!
- Empty board below 3 tiles triggers auto-reset with confetti!
- Each level increases spawn speed by 15%
