This game has very painfully shown me how my lifetime of computerized spell check/auto correct has destroyed my ability to spell. Wow...

This is a surprisingly difficult game... It's a pretty fun game, but the hard achievement doesn't seem like a very good "badge of the day". -_- It looks like it is going to take a WHILE before I can get to level forty...

i feel like after level 5 you have to grind in this game until you get spheres that actually do some damage cause i can be constantly firing words with 3-4 spheres in them and the spiders just aren't dying

In a war between me and this game that lasted a total of 2 years, 7 months, and 30 days, I have won; I have finally obtained the hard badge. Am I going to continue? F*** NO. I'm gonna celebrate with a fireworks display. Then I'm gonna dance 'till dawn. Then, MAYBE I'll see what lurks beyond level 80.

The game is about a decade old and may have lost support, so don't be surprised if the word of the day doesn't work. I wish it did ;_;

My english knowledge isn't that bad, but beating all 40 levels is definitely impossible for me. Not fair. This game could also have built-in dictionaries of other languages...

This game was a lot easier when I pretended I was playing against some really old man. "Zounds", yes. "Outfield", definitely. "Phishing" no. And... many other words, no.

English word games are so frustrating when you know more than one language. I keep wanting to type in long German words even though I know they won't be accepted...

When there is Jade or something can add up each letters damage, type the longer words will better! =D These are my tips.

I love this game, but I'd like to know how we get more letters. It seems inconsistent and a little random. If there's a formula, it'd be nice to know it so we can get more letters to work with. Otherwise, wonderful game!

the removal of "dirty" words is a pain in my [dirty word removed], particularly when I am in a crunch for time and a word I expect to be accepted is not. a more elegant solution would be to accept all words, and omit the "dirty" ones from the ticker

There's a system that nullifies damage for words already used, but the game only keeps track of the last 20 used words. So all you have to do to beat the game is to craft a dictionary of at least 21 words, type it until the end and repeat. Works particularly well with Ragnarr's strategy (filling your boiler with just F, L, and Y). Here's the dictionary I used: Fly Flay Fley Flaxy Flyby Fluky Flaky Flawy Flyoff Fluffy Flyway Flyboy Fleshy Flyaway Flyways Flyaways Fretfully Fully Lullaby Slyly Flyable Flyblow

The word database REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to be updated, its so annoying.... and if a word its night right, it has to be deleted automatically.....

"thigmotropism?" you've gotta be friggin' kidding me. i think i got better ammo from whipping out "oubliette" (35) on the first level. no thanks.

Dictionary could use an update but is actully a great game once you get into it and upgrade your letters using the boiler...even for a slow typist and poor speller like me. Sucks you in as much as any shooter when you get to higher levels - you really start to panic at times!

The targeting system is too random. I end up with the spiders returning with the notes with every spider on the screen at half health. This gets very frustrating since if the targeting system locked onto the farthest spider or even a random spider it would be much easier.

Yesterday's Word of the Day was "bole" and I couldn't get past level 8. Today's is "concertina" and I'm doing much better.

When you're italian, and find yourself racking points with words such as polymorphism, peripheral, juvenile and primal, you'll notice that english dictionnaries are made of latin-rooted words.

A lot of combined words missing such as watermill or firewall. Daycare is not accepted either. I wonder which dictionary this game uses.
