Anyone who's having trouble with the badges, check out words-with.com and wordsbyletter.com. Opening them in a side-by-side window with the game makes it much easier. Of course it's most fun to play it fairly, but if you're tired of the game and just want to get your badges and move on (like I did), then it's a helpful fallback.

words from other languages are accepted sometimes, i've accidentally typed in several latin words that have worked :)

Im confused about rank 7, do you have to get the 15 different w and k words in a single game, or is it across all your games?

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.

The Q/X thing feels really silly to me, to be honest. I simply can't imagine anyone other than a literally world-class Scrabble player (and maybe not even) completing that challenge without looking up a word list, and I feel like looking up word lists defeats the whole point. Also, it's really not well-balanced against the other challenges in terms of difficulty--even with the word list in hand, simply restarting for the required QUA-prefix took me more time than the other challenges combined. Also, this Hard badge is currently one of the 20 least earned badges on the site nearly 6 months after release, so it's not like I'm the only one who finds that challenge unreasonable...=/

This is a good game, but some of the words I tried to use aren't in the dictionary, then I get pissy and lose. Triathalon or oneric, for example.
