too many common words are not recognized. For those who don't speak English as main language, this game can be a huge problem...

From the description: Clockwords is a hectic word game set in Victorian London - but it doesn't accept British spellings.

to get letters easily, repeatedly do level 9. The level has 81 bugs, all normal bugs and you can get about 8-10 letters each

Strategy I used: Boiler = 4 A, 4 E, 2 I, 1 L, 2 R, 5 S, 2 T, everything else is combined to make as many special versions of those tiles as possible. At the beginning of each level, open the first few chambers with small words, then spam "REALIST" repeatedly until all 8 chambers are open. From there, type "ALTERNAT" with all kinds of suffixes (-e, -es, -ed, -ely, -ing, -or, -ors, -ion, -ions, -ive, -ives, -ively). Then just spam words with lots of the chosen letters in them, as quickly as you can type and with no regard to what's actually showing. Should get you through any level up through 40 if you can type fast enough.

For being presented by Dictionary.com, they really need to add more words to the dictionary. Lots of basic words are considered invalid...

The cannon should really aim at the spiders with the documents as they near the exit. Other than that, superb game. And it helps improve your vocabulary!

Oof. Fought a hard-won battle over the course of a week to reach level 40, thinking I was finishing the game… hello, new screen with levels 41 through 80.

I think Shashakiro had a good plan -- 20 basic letters (AAAA EEEE II L RR SSSSS TT) and using variations of "realism" to break open all the chambers. I actually printed out a list of words and just typed them in order repeatedly, since the "already used" penalty vanishes after 20 intervening words. It's not as fun, necessarily, but it's a good way to get the badge. Here's my list:
1. Realistic
2. Realistically
3. Alternate
4. Alternates
5. Alternated
6. Alternator
7. Alternators
8. Alternating
9. Alternative
10. Alternatives
11. Alternatively
12. Alternation
13. Alternations
14. Streaming
15. Streamline
16. Streamlined
17. Streamlines
18. Streamliner
19. Streamliners
20. Streamlining
21. Especially
22. Recreational
If I have time and see good combos, I might use these other words, with variations of tense & usage
• Estimate
• Satire
• Dream
• Rational
• Startle

For the 100 damage word, get as many special letters you can find that are in the word "Antidisestablishmentarianism"

Never managed to figure out if drops are random, or if there is something special one ought to enter to get plentiful drops.

i can't believe there are 80 stages. it took so much effort to get to the badge and out pops another page. this was fun, but 40 stages are more than enough for me, thank you very much.

There are way too many words that are actual words that the game is not accepting. I mean, it accepted "french" but then wouldn't take "italian." That makes no sense.

fun game of this type of game, great music, plot isn't too bad, but the in game dictionary...there are plenty of words it won't accept, and anyone who has english as a second language is toast.

My favorite word to use: floccinaucinihilipilification
Just make sure to spell it right. Spell check on this comment catches it as a wrong word, but it's in the dictionary lol.

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
