Help for Spellwell: Word Magic. Can’t find your answer? Write to luca@tescari.dev.
How do I play?
Trace a word by sliding your finger across touching letters, in any direction, including diagonals. Longer words score more. Power words cast spells; you’ll find the ones you’ve discovered in your spellbook. Letters keep rising in the well: clear them with words and don’t let the well fill up, or the run is over.
Ranked or Practice?
You choose when you begin a run. Ranked has no hints: you get one free run a day, up to four with extra runs, and the best run of the day counts. Ranked scores appear on the Today, This week and Hall of Fame leaderboards. Practice lets you use hints, which is a good way to learn; Practice runs are never posted.
Why didn’t my score post?
- You were offline (or the server was busy): the run is saved on your device and posted automatically later, when you start the game or finish another run.
- You haven’t chosen a name yet: scores are only posted under a leaderboard name. Choose one in Settings → Name, and your saved runs will be posted.
- “Update Spellwell to post scores”: the game rules changed in a newer version. Update the app from the App Store or Google Play to post new scores.
- Practice runs (marked “Practice run” after the game) are never posted. Every Ranked run is posted, even one that scores zero.
- The leaderboards are cheat-proof: a run that doesn’t pass the server’s check isn’t posted.
How do I change my name?
Open Settings → Name. Names have 3–16 letters or numbers, must not be taken by someone else, and must be family-friendly. Your scores stay with you under the new name.
How do I delete my data?
Everything except the leaderboard lives only on your device: deleting the app deletes it. To delete your leaderboard name and every score, open Settings → Leaderboard data → Delete in the app; it takes effect at once. Or email luca@tescari.dev and tell us your leaderboard name. See the privacy policy for details.
