Yep, first Einstein quote ("You have to learn the rules of the game, and then you have to play better than everyone else") is not him. Please double check yr quotes before putting them in yr game about quotes, ok? Einstein is really, REALLY frequently misattributed to all kinds of quotes.

Some things you should consider for updates.
Offline gain is a big one.
Nothing else i can think of. This game is fun just needs some changes :D
More in depth instructions. I still have no idea what that upgrade did that reset my conversions. Maybe make it so you can view the quotes but they only show the words you unlocked so you can try and guess what quotes there will be? Just something small / able to see progress.

Disregard my last comment. So, it seems every time I convert a large number of combinations, the letters reset to some lower level. Just now, I was on 'adopt' and converted 500K of combinations. The letters reset to 'k---' and now I have to wait for it to catch up again. Lovely.

Found a bug, I think. I got to the word 'live', then the letter reset to 'a---'. I tried refreshing, but the letters are still working their way back to 'live'.

Also, the rewards seem pointless at the higher levels. I mean, 700 gold for 10 quotes? By the time you get 10 quotes, 700 gold is useless. Still, all it needs is some minor polishing, so 4/5!

I like a lot of the concepts, but I feel that some things (like the combo timer and physically clicking) become way too undervalued later in the game.

I really like idle games, but this one takes it a step to far... idling for hours to then make a single click is a bit boring... there just isn't anything to do but to wait, once you are at 6-letter words or beyond.

I've done well over 10,000 clicks by hand, but the achievements for that tops out at 2000... I think there might be room for some adjustments there.

(don't get me wrong, I love the concept of this game a lot, but it's really worrisome that nobody ever seems to check the validity of these things)

I'm willing to bet there's a bunch of quotes misattributed to George Carlin and Albert Einstein that they didn't say either in here if that Bill Gates nonsense is in here.
Hey it's the internet. To be honest I can improve the game mechanics, balance it, implement high scores and make it better or try to check quote by quote. There is a limited number of things I can work on and I try my best to prioritize what you guys suggest.. but it's hard to do all at once
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
you guys know that "life's not fair, get used to it" was not said by bill gates, right
i mean, #1 obviously someone else said it first, duh, and #2 I'm assuming you're talking about the supposed list of "rules kids won't learn in school", which Snopes says actually came from a book written by a guy named Charles J. Sykes. Maybe if you make a whole game about famous quotes, make sure the person actually said the thing first?

I'm surprised there wasn't the quote "To be or not to be..." early on. That would have been a great one to introduce the system while you only had 3 letter words.

It'd be really nice to get an indication that you've gained something from achievements beyond a little ! icon indicating that you've achieved something new, with no info about what it was or what it got you.

Since nobody's actually said it (including the developer): Converting rolls back your counter by X number of letter combinations for money. The amount it rolls back increases each time you use it (hence the reset upgrade). Ex: I recently converted about 25m combinations for $3mil bringing me from ci---- to a-----. You can then spend the cash on writers to increase your Lps. Eventually with increased Lps you'll catch up to where you would have been. You do NOT receive cash for words you've already found. Developer: Unique take on the idle game! Looking forward to updates with better balance, more upgrades and quotes!
I coudn't explaint better (as you saw lol) thank you about that. I'm working exclusively on this game to improve it for people like you who support even by dropping a comment here. Thanks!

I saw the "Convert combinations to money" button. I clicked. I did not know what I was doing, so I kept clicking it. You need to label that better.

Needs offline progress. Brute-forcing an entire dictionary will probably take longer than most people would be willing to stay online.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
dictionary ought to be larger I'd say... way too many empty spots where starting letter combination dictates that end doesn't mater: no results exists

my gold per letter has reset its self back to 8, i had it over 30. everything else is later game but can make no gold now.needing to hard reset...
I've comment a lot before, but I'm saying again, there are 51000+ words currently and I'm working on improve the speed after 5 letter words. The game is not finished yet.

Dev: you asked where to find dictionaries. Many English-language word games use official Scrabble tournament dictionaries; in North America the official list is called "TWL" (Tournament Word List) and in British English-speaking regions it's "SOWPODS".

seems like combo money generating only resumes after new words get discovered, and combinations go lower if you sell them:)

The clicking achievement isn't turning over for me. I still see the 100 clicks bar (and it looks full), even though I have over 4000 clicks according to the stats tab. I thought this was a "feature" until I read the comments and read that there are actually achievements for more than 100 clicks.

gotta say, hving right click to buy more is an awesome idea.
but i rly hate that the game stops if youre on another tab :(

I think one of the worse parts of this game is that it's just bursts of words (thus money). MA? will produce a lot of words, but from MB? to MEA you're not getting much.
