What happens when you combine the sliding tile mechanics of 2048 with Scrabble-style word building? ... You get WordBlocks!

Some Key Features & Mechanics:
• Grid Physics & Sliding Controls: Imitated 2048 sliding tile
mechanics to allow players to move letter tiles across a 6x6
canvas using arrow/WASD keys, or swipe gestures to form
words before the board fills up.

• Special Tiles: Created unique game elements such as wildcard
tiles (?), inspired by the blank tiles in Scrabble, where players
pick the target letter; and double-letter tiles (EE, OO, TT, etc.).

• Scoring System: Created a system that awards points based on
word length (3-letter = 3 points, 4-letter = 6 points, 5-letter =
8 points, etc.).

• Scoring Multipliers: Created a system that boosts scores by x2
with rare letter bonuses (Q, Z, X), dynamic "Hot Zone" row/
column clear multipliers, and Cross Multipliers for intersecting
horizontal and vertical words.

• Power-Up Mechanic: Implemented a power-up mechanic where
players click the Bomb button, then click on the targeted group
of letters to clear a 2x2 grid.

• Endgame Animated Sweep: Implemented a mechanic for when
no valid moves remain; an automated sweep algorithm scans
rows, columns, and diagonals to catch and score any last-
minute words.
