You should add an upgrade that lets you try all of the vowels first in a column, and if there are no consonant combinations skips to the next column.
If that makes any sense. :s

- "Triple check all your quotes before adding them to your game" - Shakespeare
- Maybe put an option to show more than one quote per page, or a minigame where you can attribute quotes to famous characters and get money if you guess correct? Or both?
- Better exchange rates for the different conversion options: right now only the third one is useful, as the other two offer too little gold for the number of combinations they require. Why are they even there?
I hope to see this game grow so much I'll be able to rate it 5/5! The concept is exceptionally original and it has all the cards to turn into an awesome top-rated idle game. Best of luck!
I had to split the message in three parts… I apparently used too many words! Sorry for the wall of text. 3/3

- Right now clicking is completely useless after you get the 2,000 clicks achievement (the last clicks-related achievement I got, even though only the 100 clicks achievement is showing up at the moment). More clicks-related achievements wouldn't make clicking more relevant than it is, but it would at least give players one reason to do it. Having those achievement show up properly would also be nice.
- More quotes, betterly distribuited quotes and better rewards for discovering quotes: I think I found my first quote a couple of hours after I started the game and now that I'm making 6-letter words I only discovered 11. This probably means that the other 122 quotes are likely cramped later in the game, away from the curious player that approaches Idle Quotes because he thought that it had a fancy premise. Moreover, the next achievement requires me to discover 25 quotes and "rewards" me with 1,750 gold when right now I need millions just to upgrade my assistants once. 2/3

This is an awesome concept for an idle game and it definitely has a huge potential! I initially voted the game 4/5 because I loved the idea of learning new English words as I was playing, but 400M combinations later I opted for 3/5 as I think it better describes the current state of the game.
Here are some suggestions I came up with, based on my experience:
- There should be more words! As of now, there are only 51,361 words in the game. The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary contains 171,476 words that are currently used and 47,156 obsolete words, not counting plurals (cat-cats) and inflections (knock-knocks-knocked) that are instead present in the game. A few users suggested a couple of good sites to update the word database, but even any Scrabble word list could improve the current situation.
- I'd love to browse the whole list of words I discovered, but right now I can only see the last 18 words I found. 1/3

There needs to be a different incentive to click. Right now a click generates only 14 letters, but my lps is over 3k. Certainly insignificant. Maybe create an upgrade that allows clicking to extend the combo or add a percentage of lps to clicks.

It should have auto-click from the start, and then the ability to upgrade it. It's not an idle game, it's a clickaroo simulator.

Words are not equally distributed, and the longer words gets the more sparsely they are distributed, which ruins the fun I had at the beginning of the game.

You have countries on here but not all of them, like Israel yet you have Italy and Japan. Also, you have words that aren't English, like adios.

This game doesn't really have a goal. Played it for a while, and upgrades are kind of repetitive. The conversions were cool when i understood them though.

So actually finishing a quote gets you nothing? It seems like that should give you some kind of bonus, seeing as how that's the entire concept of your game. The idea for this game is really creative and fun and I look forward to seeing what you do with it! :)

I'm 33 years old, but I don't think I'm mature enough to handle this game. I keep giggling when I see rude words.
Ha ha ha, the game said tit.

it would be nice to have a way to sort upgrades by cost or even just have the upgrades grayed out if you can't afford them instead of having to move your mouse over every one of them to see if you can afford it

What is the point of this game? Am I missing something in the instructions? I click on the hand at the bottom but all I get is gibberish.

I think you had a good idea making this game. An idle game that can learn me something. BUT I also think it lacks a save option (my PC is not powered on 24/7, yeah I know.... ^_^ )

This is seriously the most imaginative idea for an idle game I've seen on Kong so far, and I've seen a lot. Good work!

I know it's probably not what you guys thought but all I can think of is brute force hacking XD This demonstrates perfectly the difference a 6 character password makes, and a 8 character one.

Offline continuation needs to happen! Way to slow late game to not be able to close it out and come back to it with some progress.

I've got no idea what convert does, what's the difference between the three convert options, what is it for, what's the downsideas and upsides of converting each one of them. I mean why don't add at least some little bit of tutorial.

Would be nice to have some info about when the next updates will come. Specially because without soft-reset the game pretty much stalls a bit when you pass the 6 letter area... (Plus if you agree so dev sees it and maybe provides some estimates :) )

"Selling combinations are useful later in the game, do not use them when you have less than 5 letter words." *_* -_-* shit
