I really liked this game until it turned into "keep restarting until you get a very specific set of prefixes and suffixes to complete this one god awful objective." Great game, horrible challenges.

30 POINTS hard..... is actually meant to be labelled impossible....10 words with Q and X !??!??! I'd like anyone to name 10 words with those two letters in without even having to use a prefix or suffix!!!!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It isn't too hard to get the words with q and x, but you are missing a few words that would make it a bit easier. The words quadruplexings, quadroxide, and quadroxides are all valid, but aren't accepted in the game. I basically had to keep restarting because I could get 8 words from the qua prefix and then I'd have to just hope for another prefix or suffix that I could use for other words.

english is not my mothers tongue, but even so the beginning "over-" and the ending "-ing" make it very easy at times :D

Finding words: Go to onelook.com. For prefixs, type prefix then *. For suffixes, type * then suffix. For letter constraints, other sites are probably better, but you can do something similar by using letters instead of suffixes and adding * wherever extra letters are allowed.

Rank 8 with building 4000m without "e" is tonnes easier than making 10 words with "q" and "x" especially with the hideously incompatible prefixes and ever so rare ideal suffixes. >.>

For those stuck on level 8, due to q and x, here you go.

Your best chance is probably aiming for -ine, since it has 8 words. Anyway, good luck! :)

Awe come on add a time bonus for big words cause I got "pse...udoephedrine" and I would of thought I got more time since it's a big word...

@kcolloran - I had significant trouble with Rank 7 too - the list really helped. Reach rank 8 - well, shit. This is going to be impossible.

Is the height gained from words dependant on the amount of letters in the word? I thought i was clever doing 'best west crest zest cest fest...' but it seemed to not do much. Whereas 'Furthest, funniest, sharpest, smoothest' seemed to do a lot more. Well. I wasn't really focusing at the time, i must admit. :D

Rank 6 Objectives: "Build a tower to 500 meters without using the letter 's'" So basically, if the game starts with two stems that have 's' in them you have to restart? Or is the goal to climb 500 meters at some point without using 's'?

Rank 5: "Build a tower that's 200m tall." Ok. Here's a 5952m tower. Is that tall enough yet? IS IT? WHERE ARE MY KUDOS FOR BUILDING MY WAY TO MOUNT EVEREST?!

I really like this game, but given i'm not *that* flulent in english, things get hard pretty quick. Multilanguage support would be greatly appreciated (hint: also in french :)

Would be nice if we could choose some of the special prefixes/suffixes for as in level 8's q and x. Btw, "up" arrow recalls previous words, and "down" clears the area. Very fun games!

this game makes you feel stupid when you can't think of a word, and smart when you get a high multiplayer. great game

nice game, but needs improvement. 1. I mean its a game about words and I played it like 10 times but allready found like 3-4 common words which are not in the game, yes I checked spelling. 2. Which spelling? There is a great difference between british, american, canadian, australian or any other version of english, it would be nice to know which is accepted. But after all a great game 4/5

only 9 words with QX starting with QUA or QUI (just reshuffle until you get them), then... just freaking luck you find a -ess, -ine or similar endings. suggestions? make a lists of all QX words. (google or http://www.morewords.com/contains-by-length/qx/)
