- Create turn-based, procedurally generated adventures
- Shape your hero or heroine with highly customizable portraits
- Master multiple types of word puzzles and word duels, forged into a coherent game system
- Duel opponents that also compose words from the same pool of letters as you
- Wield words that can literally hurt or mend
- Venture into mini-adventures across space-time and the afterworld
- Collect and craft items and upgrades, and optionally steal and trade poignant curios
- Experience a dynamic, often dramatic or humorous, yet always meaningful and personal story

- A typical adventure can be completed in 30–90 minutes, depending on the complexity level of your choice. Just like a game of chess, Words of Yendor offers endless replayability, providing unique and thrilling adventures each time you play.
- Your progress is automatically saved, allowing you to contemplate the challenges for as long as you like. The game remains unaffected by the passage of real time.
- Note that embracing the spirit of roguelikes, this is also a “permadeath” game, so if your hero falls, the game is over. However, if you enter the same adventure seed number, you can replay any adventure as many times as you want.
- It's never just one of the “red, green, blue” endings. Each one is personal and unique!
