Bookworm is the classic snake with a twist: instead of apples it eats letters, and they join its tail. Spell a real word and burn it for points! The longer the word, the bigger the reward, and words in a row build a combo up to ×5.

Over 18,000 English words. Every level has its own goal: collect a bird, a fish or some food, a word starting with a given letter or three words in a level. Every fifth level is a boss fight: Greedy steals letters, Glutton leaves rocks, Grabber splits in two and Gobbler drops mines.

Bonuses help you out: letter forecast, letter swap, a word list, letter rain, ×2 and ×3 points. Watch out for traps — explosive and rotten letters and confusion. Keep an eye on hunger and feed your snake!

A new word of the day for everyone, every day. Build your word collection, unlock 25 achievements and 7 skins. Want to relax? Switch on relaxed mode with no rush and no hunger.

How to play

Steer the snake and eat letters — they join your tail in the order you eat them. As soon as the tail spells a word of 3+ letters, it lights up yellow. Burn it to score points and make the tail shorter. A level is complete when only the snake's head is left.

Computer: arrows or WASD to turn, Enter to burn a word, Space or Esc to pause.

Phone: swipe or the arrows below to turn, the «WORD» button to burn a word, the pause button or a double tap on the field to pause.

Don't miss letters: an uneaten letter burns, costs points and makes the snake hungry. Don't crash into the edge, rocks, your own tail or the boss — you'll lose a life. Eaten letters, burned words and food on the field ease hunger.

Complete the level goal for a bonus, burn words in a row for a combo, grab bonuses and avoid traps. Every fifth level is a boss: burn words to hurt it. On the first levels a hint highlights the letter that completes a word.

Also available in Russian: switch RU/EN in the menu.
