Mashup between a classic Word Search and Same Game / Candy Crush mechanics

What it does

Word Soro is a timed 3-minute word puzzle where all players receive the same deterministic 6x6 grid of 36 letters. Words must be at least three letters long, formed from contiguous adjacent tiles without reusing the same tile. Valid words are confirmed against a server-side dictionary, and when words are cleared, letters above fall down due to gravity. The objective is to clear the entire grid before the timer expires, with scoring based on word length tiers and an additional bonus for a full clear.
