When it said " Words that start with ... 'Dem'" the first thing that pop to my head was "Demigod" And it was right!!! LOL!!! XD

My list of words that have the letters 'w' and 'k' and "ing" working, walking, backwashing, duckwalking, hawking, squawking, awaking, cakewalking, hardworking, lawbreaking, overworking, winking, whisking, winemaking, warking, wreaking

Intriguingly, playing with a word list is actually sub-optimal. If you're just typing words off a list, you wind up missing the bonus letters, since you're too busy reading the next word on the list to notice.

I got -ium and literally typed every -ium element into it, including those having alternative spellings (cesium/caesium). I now feel guilty.
I'd recommend Kevin Atkinson's SCOWL dictionary: http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/. What he has at that link is not just a word list, but a series of Perl scripts that can be used to generate dictionaries that vary in size from sleek to gargantuan.

When I come up with the perfect word, but mess up one of the letters. Then I have to waste ten seconds erasing it all and trying again. Feels bad, man.
For what it's worth, you can press the down arrow key to erase the current word and start over. You can also use the up and down arrow keys to cycle through all the previous words you entered (and quickly add -s or -ed endings)

Alright, color me extremely impressed. I started pulling all these obscure words out of my a** and this is the FIRST word game I've ever seen with a dictionary that can take everything I throw at it. Brachycephalic, brachiate... accepted, accepted. I was like, really? Holy crap!

I think the 'X meters tall' requirements are a bit off. I had over 3000 meters for the 300 meter requirement, and over 6000 for the 2000 meter requirement.

American spellings should be allowed as well. This is coming from an Australian, btw. "Compromized" is definitely valid in America.

The word list is solid though not ideal. The game could use a few UI tweaks, namely goals shown briefly at level start and a count of what remains during a round. Also, the blank spots where old sets are still active or not can be a bit messy. An audio key on a repeated word. A key to clear a word instead of backspacing it out wouldn't hurt though the game's not really about speed so that's not a big issue. The Q-X level isn't hard so much as luck of the draw given how few words use both. Restart, restart, restart, get a set to make them.

I love this game! I have a pretty good vocabulary, but this made me feel insignificant compared to the words that worked! Great job!

OMG!
I earned everysingle objective with one word.
I had to find either a word that started with cat- or ended with -ism.
So I thought... and figured out catechism :D and my charater flew up 50 meters got a 4x and 2x combo and got 2 bubbles. All at once.
