"ALPHA 9 definitely has a spot on my home screen for a long time." -148Apps

"If you’re a word game person looking for a refreshing new twist in the too conventional genre, then you need to grab ALPHA 9." -AppAdvice

Whether you are a word game veteran or an absolute beginner, this game will tickle your brain in ways it never was before.

ALPHA 9 has you spelling words to keep the blocks from piling up all the way to the top. Letters can only be moved vertically while words can only be scored horizontally.


There are two game modes to keep you going:

• The WALL is a matter of pacing yourself to make sure you never let the ever-growing wall of letters reach the top while you attempt to score the most points.

• The CLOCK is a workout against your personal best score during a set amount of time. It is a good way to hone your skills and your vocabulary on your own terms.

ALPHA 9 will give you a vocabulary workout while keeping you on the edge of your seat!

Pros and cons of ALPHA 9 app for iPhone and iPad

ALPHA 9 app good for

This is a beautiful, well-crafted game! Slick UI and easy to navigate. The game play is super addictive!
From the very first minutes with Alpha9, we can clearly see that a lot of effort has been put on this app. Very polished, from the clean arty aesthetic to the relaxing lounge music. Gameplay has been fine tuned as well. It feels right and is very easy to pick up. 5 stars definately! Cant wait to see more of this dev!
This game is relaxing at first but gets more challenging as you progress. Im enjoying it immensely.
Really awesome game! And it looks quite nice and sharp! Keep it up!
Addicted to word games & this is now a new fave- great twist , easy to understand & play - Great price, graphics & fun - well worth the download
Good game, but it needs more modes or power ups, something to keep it interesting.

Some bad moments

Was really looking forward to playing this game.. Too bad. How do I get my money back???
Great way to work on vocabulary! Unlock-able themes and awesome music!
If you like Spell Tower, you may also dig this game. The rules are different, the graphics are snazzier, and there are unlockable themes.
Although this game is fun and challenging, you need very small, pointy fingers to play on a phone. Due to time constraints, the tiny letters need to be arranged quickly, but a lot of time is wasted trying to get them properly placed. This is difficult because of the small screen. The game plays better on an iPad.
This is a really fun game. Fun, but at times, challenging. Its really addictive though. You should buy it while its only 99 cents.
It took a tiny bit to wrap my head around it but once I did it became a favorite time sink.
