I tried to enjoy this game, I really did, but I just can't get over how all the real progress in it comes from grinding to fuel an anti-exponential upgrade process. And the fact that a ton of good, valid words aren't listed in this dictionary (even though the parent company does list them!) didn't help.

Game wouldn't accept ekpyrosis. I've been waiting so long to use it in one of these games and my dreams have been crushed

Fill the hopper with 5 of each F L and Y and some specials of those letters. The F and Y are worth 20 damage and the L 10. Then hammer out words like Fly Flyer Flying Flyby Flyboy Flyover Flypaper Fretfully Fully Fluffy Lullaby Slyly and so on. My average word damage is 55+ usually. Its a cakewalk then.

"Chamber four unlocked!" And then the letters start to drop in. U...M...A.. (don't do it, don't do it, don't do it...) ...D.
Trolled by a flash game. Not a good start to a day =P

better than average spelling game, challenging but not to much, at times it can be frustrating but when you play the level again it goes smoth. so i will say 4/5, not the best game out there but among the great

The game tells me to check the "word of the day", today its "summerize"... and it`s not a valid word, like many others. Feels like the games dictionary is very limited.

I just think the cannon should be better placed, since I just can't shoot at the spiders that are running away with my files since there are so many in lower lines in such a way that the shots just keep hitting the wrong targets. If not for that, it would be 5/5

use the word 'uncopyrightable'. it is the longest word in the english language, which does not repeat a letter. Theres 26 letters in the alphabet, and the word 'uncopyrightable', uses 15 of them.

Also disappointed to find CRETACEOUS didn't work either. So this game can shove it for not believing in geological epochs!

So I was trying to figure out how the transmutation works, and I finally got it!
You simply have to drag the letters on to the green part, not into the grid underneath it!

So glad that is over. Fantastic addictive game. Wish there was an Impossible badge ( complete 120 levels ) Mix of iron brass jade A E R S T H D - That's all I used. Very easy. You can use something like scrabblecheat.com to get good words, trick is to type those 7 letters TWICE, you get a heap of long easy to type words from AERSTHDAERSTHD. Then add S,ED,EN,ES,ING,ENED to words that contain ONLY those 7 letters, but you want words 6-10 letters long, POWER. Enjoyed & rated 5*'s

A Permute button would be extremely useful for cases when you want to use a lot of letters (like all 8 in the tanks), but you're stuck and can not come up with any sensible word as you stare at them. Reordering them would help in these cases, and now the only way to do this is to type the letters and then hit Esc, as it rearranges them in the tanks.

This was an easy 5/5 from me; I usually give 4s and 3s. It could make a GREAT party game; fire it up, sit your best typist down, rotate people aiming the cannon, everyone else brainstorms words. Suggestions for authors: imposing upkeep for words in storage (extra for specials) and bonuses for variety could temper the strategy of putting 3-4 high-damage letters in the boiler and nothing else. And of course, there seems to be interest in other languages. :)

Since when "Texas" is a word and "Latin" is not? There are so many things it doesn't register. Well, it is quite stupid for a machine so intelligent. On a side note "Coming soon" in a nine years old game.

I like the concept, but it's way too much of a grind. I'm on level 18 after hours of playing with just two brass letters.

As many others have said, it's pointless saying there's a bonus for word of the day on dictionary.com when said word is not recognised as a real word.

Still one of the best games to play to get the brain rolling. It's genuinely fun, wonderful and very unique idea, and even fun to play with people watching since having more people pooling words can be helpful.
