I love it. But since I'm french, it's kinda difficult to quickly find english words. My head isn't fast enough for this game ! I wish I could play it in french ^_^

this game is gar too difficult for a weekly badge.
don't forget 95% of the population don't speak english as first language

Aiming for the hard badge, and at Rank 8 I need... 10 words with "Q" *AND*
"X"?! I can't even think of ONE word with both those letters! D:

For those struggling with Rank 8, I'll give you a tip: "quadruplex" is both an adjective and a verb. That should get you most of the way there.

Ah, typos. You type out a long word with both the wanted prefix and suffix, with 5 seconds remaining, and can't press Enter cause there's a missing letter somewhere

There should be a pause button, but if you paused it, it would restart your combo and change the suffix/prefix when you unpause it, that way it cannot be abused.

OMG... Is rank 8 for real? I can only think of a couple of words with q and x... And none of them start or end with the prefixes or suffixes in this game?

wait until the ending is ING. then try going, walking, seeing etc.
a bit of a manual would be nice.
and i thought it was unfair to take a cool ending (like ING) away, when you build a word with the requested start end ending. so never try hitting start AND end if you're on a cool part you want to keep.

I love this game because of the originality of it. I do wish it had a bit more time on the clock to begin with, but that's just me. 5/5

google words starting or ending with X X X and it'll give you enough words to get the 400 badge. BEFORE the timer starts obviously.

I really like this game, I love words, and i like the tower idea. My main suggestion is to have a bar next to accomplishments that shows how far you are. For example, I was SURE I'd had 15 words with k and w, but I didn't get the next ranking and was disappointed, especially since I had no idea how many more I needed. It would've been nice to see something like "14/15 words found"

I remember playing this game with friends when it was published on Kongregate. I thought it was awesome! Making this a BOD, however makes me think it might not be a good choice for other kong users that will have trouble because English isn't their first language. Hardly, and "easy" badge for them.

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.

Great game but...10 words with Q and X in? That's a terrible choice of objective for the hard badge. Need a big slice of luck, repetitive restarting, and an online dictionary open in another window. Surely that's not the point of this game? There are so many better objectives you could choose that would provide a good stiff challenge without requiring so much luck and restarting to the point of being boring...

Great game!!! Kongregate needs more good word games. Hmm... for the 'w' and 'k' words I got lucky with an -ing suffix: working, walking, waking, winking, wrinkling, woodworking, ironworking, wanking, welking, backwashing, duckwalking... that accounts for 11 of the 15.
Proke actually is a word. It's an incredibly archaic word for 'prod' or 'poke'. There's a long story as to how it became the name of this game, but I'll save that for another time. =)

I got the ending "ine" and I practicly SKYROCETED. I was thinking: Dine! Rine! Fine! Sine! Line! and even tried ones that I wasn't even aware that they were words, but that was pure luck getting "ine"
