Letter tiles usually appear in the grid as unremarkable, standard tiles containing one or in the case of the 'Qu' tile two letters.

Such attributes include:. Acts as a wildcard can replace any letter ; can only have one in the grid. Cannot be stolen by Gem Steal. The «scramble» feature from the original title returns in Bookworm Adventures, allowing players to replace their current grid of letters with an entirely new set.

Most treasures may upgrade for best effects and improved abilities, mostly in the sequel.
