The game is great, but I would like to be able to play longer per run; maybe giving an increase in time per word entered (like, +1 or 2 seconds? Although that might be too much, maybe a scale, like +5 seconds within 100m of ground, then +4, +3, +2, +1, +.5, +.1. No less than .1 though.) or just giving more base time.
Thanks! At the moment, you get a bonus of fifteen extra seconds each time you reach a milestone (like 100 meters, 200 meters, etc.) A per-word time bonus could work, too, and I'm also considering increasing the base time as you earn higher ranks.

Easy badge was pretty easy. Hard badge is just STUPID. It literally may as well read, 'Play the game with a Scrabble word finder open in a 2nd window'.

It that supposed to be "10 words that have a 'Q' or an 'X'," or perhaps "10 words that have a 'Q' and 10 words that have an 'X'?" I can't imagine getting 10 words that have both a 'Q' and a 'X', especially since we can't repeat words.

Even the easy badge is hard, because English is not my first language. Still enjoyed it, though.
I can't get past rank 2 lol. 4/5

Greetings folks, I've just released an update. It features...
New Words! This includes an embarrassing oversight. 'Canada' wasn't in the game's dictionary. It is now, though. Sorry Canadians!
Bug Fixes! The game won't slow down and crash when you build ridiculously tall towers. At least, it didn't when I tried it.
New features! You can now end a game early. Look for the button in the lower left corner.
Old features! People have been asking for a way to quickly scroll through old words, or clear out the current word. You can do this with the arrow keys -- press up to go through past words, and down to go back or clear the current word entirely.
Thank you for all the five star reviews!

Here is some more words with Q and X (adding onto Mmmchips) All are suffixes:
-CAL: quixotical.
-IES: exequies, quixotries.
-ITE: exquisite.
-ESS: exquisteness.
-SES: exquisitenesses.
-LLY: quixotically.
-SMS: quixotisms.
Rather than scrambling I suggest completing the words with the prefix only. This way it changes the suffix faster than waiting for the scramble button to appear.
Please + if you think it is useful. :)

Maybe if you got both the beginning and the ending in one word you get some bonus. *3 or *5 combo on both. Should be some bigger reward in it :)

GREAT TIPS TO GET GREAT HISHSCORES: 1. get a dictionary, any dictionary ( preferably a book) 2. use only the word that starts with (its hard if its ends with) 3. choose a starting letter that is easy to type and lots of words 4. use only short and simple words 5. keep in mind that 1 word have many forms like plural ( ending in -s, -es) nouns ( -er, -ers, -ist, -ists, -or, -ors, -ee, -ees) and verbs ( -ed, -eds, -ing, -ings) this mean 1 word got lots of possibilities 6. do not wait for the screen to finish coming up(it eats time a lot)... just keep typing 7. sometimes the starting letter changes, so watch out for that 8. when #7 does happen, just minimize the window and search your dictionary ( the time in the game actually slow when you do that) hope this helps a lot

spac, suffix means endings only so try getting 2 15-combos on the suffix in one game.
and also a pro tip for good height is to not type the first word, go to a website and google a list of words starting with, and keep going through the list while playing. by changing your browser size you can see the list and game at same time and get a huge combo, also good if struggling with getting a combo streak, as occurs later in the game. remember, the clock doesn't tick till you enter you first word. + so others can see too.

@corunnery - You'd "right" them down? The first step to playing a spelling game should probably be learning how to spell.

if you are continuously restarting in order to get a desired prefix or suffix i suggest pressing tab and enter repeatedly. in other words no mouse movement required.

How do people reach rank 9? Just finding 10 words that has Q and X is hard enough, but getting the correct 'starts with' or 'ends with' seems impossible. Does this game even have a 'starts with' "Exq" for exquisite? (which you could make 5 words with)

A better website is http://words-with.com/q-and-x.html I used "squamosomaxillary" and the game recognized the word! Very fun game. 4/5

At least you don't have to do the letter in word challenges in one go! Here's 15 words that you can get with q and x.. Just have to find the endings.
exchequers / exequial / exequies / exquisite / exquisitely / exquisiteness / exquisitenesses / exquisites / quincunxial / quixotes / quixotic / quixotical / quixotism / quixotisms / quixotries

1) letters with 'q' and 'x', look for "qua-" prefix: "quadplex, quadplexes, quadratrix, quadratrixes, quadrioxalate, quadruplex, quadruplexed, quadruplexes, quadruplexing", 9 letters here. then for the 10th, do some form of "quixotic" 2) 19 words with 'b' and 'w', restart until you see "bac-" : backward, backwash, backwood, backwrap, backwards, backwater, backwoods, backwraps, backwardly, backwashed, backwashes, backwaters, backwoodsy, backwardness, backwashing... 3) I HAVE NOT SEEN A "QUI-" prefix, SO STICK WITH "QUA-" FOR NOW :)
