Anagram Dungeon
Rearrange the scrambled letters and chant the mightiest skill name! A dungeon where how strong your name sounds becomes its power
AkaoThe newest game in my 100 phone games project is "Anagram Dungeon" (アナグラムダンジョン). You rearrange scrambled katakana into a skill name and fight the monsters in the dungeon.
OnagaYou just come up with a skill name? And that's how you fight?
AkaoAn AI judges how strong that name sounds. The mightier it sounds, the more power it gets. Made-up words are fine, so it comes down to sound and meaning.
OnagaThen a super long name with tons of dakuten has to be the strongest, right?
AkaoYou'd think so, right? But the letters you're dealt are fixed, so the trick is finding the mightiest-sounding arrangement of them. Some names even get an element like fire or thunder, so you can hit an enemy's weak spot.
OnagaA battle of rearranging letters. I like that the more you think, the stronger you get.
AkaoThe dungeon never ends, so it's a contest of how many floors you can clear. You also find equipment along the way, and some pieces evolve when you combine them.
OnagaAlright! I'll dive deepest with the mightiest skill name I can think up!

Plays on its own (tap to fast-forward)
- Arrange letters into a skill namePut the katakana tiles you're dealt in any order to make a skill name of 3 or more letters. You don't have to use every tile, and made-up words are fine
- The mightier the name, the stronger the hitAn AI judges how strong your skill name sounds, and that becomes its power. The name also decides the element, like fire or thunder, and effects like healing or poison
- How deep can you go?Dive into an endless dungeon and compete on how many floors you clear. You pick equipment every 2 floors, and matching pairs evolve. Your record goes on the all-time and weekly rankings
How to Play
Play on a phone in portrait, one-handed.
Notes
An internet connection is required (the skill name is judged by an AI on the server). The AI will occasionally make an unexpected call. When you can't connect, you can play with a simple judge built into your device, but those runs don't go on the ranking.
When you join the ranking, the name you enter (up to 8 characters), the number of floors you cleared, and your strongest attack with its skill name are sent to this site's server and shown to other players (skill names that may contain inappropriate words are not shown). Please don't use your real name. Your best record and other data are saved in your device's browser. The game's text is in Japanese.
Feel free to stream or play it live. A link to this page or the game in your description would be much appreciated.
