I've been playing this with my girlfriend and after some laughs and a lot of me telling her to just be satisfied with the 50 point word, only for her to cave in to a completely different word for some reason, I feel confident to rate this.

It's just word search scrabble! ..but fun and arcady.. hear me out.

I'm actually familiar with FRVR for a while now, they have a unique arcady sense to their mobile feeling games that I would like to praise for a second, most of their ideas aren't unique or innovative but they do one thing, and they do it right and that is using already established gameplay loops and making it more addicting and fun without compromise.

Spellcast is competitive word search where you search for a big word in a jumbled mess of letters. Each have their own points assigned dependant on rarity, every round it adds a new x2 tile which doubles the points of your word if you use the letter in said tile. It's a simple and basic concept but it's actually a really fun arcady experience.

Turns out me and my girlfriend are big fans of scrabble but I'm not the competitive type, my girlfriend seems to be tho, instead of feeling demotivated by this it's instead helping me learn and try harder. So basically, she adds this push and pull to the game where I want to make silly words but she is like 30 points ahead of me, maybe I shouldnt go for "cock" and instead go for something that actually gives me points. What I'm saying is that it puts me in a very unique but fun strategic mindset.

In total I'd say this is a good game actually unless you decide to pay discord nitro for it then no it isn't imo.
