A later update added a multiplayer battle mode, where players can face each other across local Bluetooth connections. While Puzzle mode waits for the player's turn to add more tiles, Rush mode adds new tiles every few seconds. The game ends when the tiles fill the screen. In Puzzle mode, for each set of tiles removed from the board, another row is added to the screen. In Tower mode, the player has 150 set tiles and tries to remove as many words as possible before running out of options. Some tiles are blank and can only be cleared by such an adjacent effect. Additionally, difficult characters like X, Q, and J, will remove an entire row when used in a word. If the player creates a long word with five or more tiles, any adjacent tile will be cleared as well. The player can select adjacent and diagonal tiles to create words, which clears those tiles from the screen. In the iPad puzzle video game SpellTower, the player attempts to clear the screen of jumbled, lettered tiles by using them to create words.

The game released for iOS in November 2011 to generally favorable reviews. The impetus for the game-the concept of combining elements from Tetris and Boggle in what was a prototype of the puzzle video game Puzzlejuice-inspired Gage to create SpellTower. The game has several game modes and a multiplayer battle mode. SpellTower is a 2011 puzzle video game by Zach Gage in which the player creates words from a jumble of letter tiles to clear the screen before it refills.
