Alpha Balls

You finally crack a word, the ball with the tick lights up, coins drop in, and you're already eyeing the next set of letters. That's the loop in Alpha Balls, and it's a sneaky one.

The idea is simple. You build words from the letters in front of you. Stuck? Spend coins on a hint that shows the first letters of an answer. Too many letters clouding your view? Hit the bin and the extras that were only there to mislead you disappear. Cheeky, but fair.

It's a proper workout for your vocabulary, so it sits happily among other Brain games and Learning Games. Mewton Games made it, you play it solo, and it runs free in your browser with no download. It plays in landscape.

Every confirmed answer earns coins, and coins buy hints, so each win helps with the next tough word. One more word? Go on.

Make words from the letters you're given, then confirm each answer to earn coins.

Press the ball with the tick to confirm your answer. Press the bin to remove the extra letters that mislead you. Spend coins on a hint, which can show you the first letters of an answer.

Tip: clear the misleading letters with the bin before you spend coins on a hint. A tidier set of letters makes the word easier to spot, and your coins go further.
