How to play
- Pick a map, then tap a grass tile where you want a tower.
- Spell an English word with your letters and tap Build; the letters decide which tower you get.
- Tap Send wave to start; each later wave comes 12 seconds after you clear one, or sooner with Next wave.
- Inkblots that reach the library cost lives; survive all 10 waves to defend the map.

Tips
- Words with J, Q, X or Z always build Cannons, and each cleared wave gives you one of those letters.
- Upgrade a tower by spelling a longer word that contains its word; it costs less than a new tower.
- Waves 5 and 10 bring a Bookworm, which costs 5 lives if it gets through.
- A Hedge slows every inkblot in its range, giving nearby towers more time to hit them.
