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"

I'm still on an early stage, but looked at the comments, and saw that I should type words like 'sesquioxides', 'unquixotic', 'superexquisitely', and 'quadrioxalate' in later stages in order to advance further. Well, no thanks, I think I quit...

I cant play this game! Its so hard for someone who dont speaks english very good, like me. Please, kongregate, dont make badges of the day in games like these!

It's incredibly annoying that moving up the tower hides the prefix and suffix I'm supposed to use, yet the timer keeps going.

I really enjoy the game - but I echo the sentiments of the other plays. The Rank 7 kw words would be far more helpful if I at least had a counter on it. I am positive I've done like 25 words with wk, but it doesn't seem to count... It would also be rad if you could explain if we have to do it all in one go, or if the 15 words can be spread over the entire challenge.... and also... does it have to have K and W in it anywhere, or does it have to actually be WK TOGETHER in the word? The instructions for Rank 7 and are vague and really frustrating to accomplish.

great game but needs a ctrl A and delete all function, sp annoying to delete through the entire word if you know what i mean

What I did to get the 10 words with QX: http://words-with.com/q-and-x.html you get 9 words that begin with QUA, so i restarted over n over again till I got this prefix and then the last one you just have to check a sufix that matches

This game is an interesting idea, but the level design is really uninspired. There are so very many ways to make the challenges interesting ... but instead the designer resorts to forcing words with Q and Z right off the bat. Instead of being a game where one can find interesting challenges in the reaches of the language, one is instead relegated to narrow corners of usage, simply because the levels are not designed to make you think interestingly. Too bad; the game has potential.

Since every milestone adds on ten seconds or so, as long as you keep your combos going on at least one prefix/suffix, you should be able to add on more time than one minute. When I did a 10,000 meter run, I was able to extend the time to about 1:40 by using the suffix -ing and by seeing if the first prefix could create a verb. In the end, -ing got me about a 20x combo.

as a non-native english speaker its hard for me to get through this, but ill get back on it when im better. liked it!

Hit 9000 meters, the trick is to get the "ing" ending and just run with it Look at whatever prefix comes up and try to incorporate that too.

For those lucky enough to get the "-ing" suffix appear when trying to get from rank 7 to 8, try these: awakening, awestriking, backflowing, backwinding, bushwhacking, counterworking, coworking, foreknowing, hardworking, interworking, ironworking, jaywalking, knowing, lawbreaking, lawmaking, metalworking, networking, reworking, skewering, working.

with that game i feel like i never learned English in school(i'm German btw)... i takes a lot of time for me to find a word with those letters.

For ending with there was 'ate'.....So I though Kongregate would work...But no the dictionary in the game is wrong. :(

Restart until you get the "qui" prefix, then use: quinatoxine quincunx quincunxial quinisext quinisextine quinotoxine quinoxaline quinoxalyl quixote quixotes quixotic quixotical quixotically quixotism quixotize quixotry. No shuffling necessary.
Vote this up so EVERYONE can see, since it's pretty much impossible otherwise.

For hard badge, begin with stage with one of the followings:
quixotical, exquisiteness, quinatoxine, quinotoxine, quinoxaline, quixotism, exquisite, quixotize, quixote, exquisitenesses, exquisites or quixotic. Then work with suffix until the given prefix is 'qua', then use all of quadplex, quadplexes, quadratrix, quadratrixes, quadrioxalate, quadruplex, quadruplexed, quadruplexes, quadruplexing. May take several tries since prefix 'qua' doesn't pop up often, but once it does, you are as good as done!

Tip for who is not native english to get this "easy" badge: see the 3 letters you like the most, take note on a dictionary of like 20 words of that. Click end game until you don't get that combo on start again...good luck!

This is one of the most "hard" easy badge around on Kong for who is not native English. I did 565 but it was really a pain

The q and x words is the only challenge that seems to need to be in the same game, which is ridiculous. You have to be way too lucky for that to work out. Every other challenge with that wording you're able to use words from multiple games. Makes the badge nearly impossible.

The "easy" badge is hard for non-native English speaker. Yet,it is easier when you get "-ing",or '-ium' when you're a chemist. I hope there can be more time per play,say 2 mins.

Three things to say to all players: 1. http://www.morewords.com/, 2. Keep restarting the game until you get something at the website where the (prefix)*(suffix) when placed in the website gives you a valid word in the beginning, 3. Randomize the order of your words, as doing too many words alphabetically will reset the prefix/suffix given for you.

This is not impossible for non natives, you just need to know how to speak.
Just managed over 4k points and i'm brazilian 'o.o
