🔤 Spell Crawler
Spell Crawler is the dungeon’s daily word game. Every word comes from the pages
of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series — crawler names, creatures, places, loot and lore.
Proper nouns count. If it appears in the books, it can appear here.
How it works
- One word per day, five letters, the same word for every crawler
- You get six guesses
- A new word appears at midnight
- Guesses must be real words found in the books — the game checks the full lexicon
Reading the colours
- 🟩 Green — right letter, right position
- 🟨 Yellow — the letter is in the word, wrong position
- ⬛ Dark — that letter isn’t in the word at all
Share your crawl
When you finish — win or lose — the game offers a share card: your result as an
emoji grid, ready to paste into Discord, Reddit or anywhere else. It shows your score and pattern
but never spoils the word.
♾️ Practice mode
Solved today’s word — or missed it? Hit Practice mode and play unlimited rounds.
Practice pays no XP and doesn’t touch your streak or stats. It’s just you and the word.
Rewards
- +15 XP for facing the word
- Solving pays by speed: +100 on the first guess, down to +15 by the sixth
- Streak bonus — +5 XP per day of your streak, capped at +50
- Miss a day and the streak resets. The dungeon keeps no mercy for absentees.

Your inbox, your rules
Achievement emails are optional, and off by default. Crawlers control them in
My Account → Account details — tick “Email me about dungeon events” if you also want them mailed to you. Leave it clear and the dungeon keeps quiet, because your achievements land in your HUD activity feed either way. You still keep every achievement and can play everything — you simply read them in your feed rather than your inbox. (Level-up notices and staircase alerts follow the same switch.)
Where to find it
Play at /spell-crawler/ — or hit SPELL CRAWLER in the main menu.
You must be logged in. The dungeon doesn’t hand out words to strangers.
