Word Runner: Tiki Escape is a free endless-runner spelling game for older kids. A target word appears at the bottom of the screen while letter tiles race toward you in three lanes — steer into the letters in the right order to spell the word for bonus points and power-ups.
How to play Word Runner: Tiki Escape
- Watch the target word at the bottom of the screen — the glowing tile shows the next letter you need.
- Move between three lanes by swiping left and right, or pressing the arrow keys or A and D.
- Run into the correct letter to fill in the word. Grab a wrong letter and the word starts over!
- Jump logs, rocks, and crates and slide under branches — you have three lives, so dodge everything.
- Complete words for bonus points and power-ups: letter magnets, extra lives, time-slows, and triple score.
