Fill the hopper with 5 of each F L and Y and some specials of those letters. The F and Y are worth 20 damage and the L 10. Then hammer out words like Fly Flyer Flying Flyby Flyboy Flyover Flypaper Fretfully Fully Fluffy Lullaby Slyly and so on. My average word damage is 55+ usually. Its a cakewalk then.

Strong words:
Xylophone
Pitchfork
Excrements
And if you're attacked really bad, try counting numbers!
One,Two,Three,Four,Five (so on....)
Try saying everything that comes onto your mind, not just words in the chambers.
like
Picture,Poetry,colorful,hate,hatred,kill,slaughter....
Okay my mind changes very quickly but oh well.....
Also get a book and type everything you see!
This strategy makes the game muuuuch easier!

I acclaim you. A brilliant game that brings entertainment and learning together. This pushed me to go learn longer words which improved my vocabulary. Good job! 5/5

its slightly annoying that the cannon doesnt automatically fire at the spider that is in front, since they are the ones carrying the papers.

btw i have a similar strategy to Elsean's; i try using various terms from science(s) that I know...including rocks, anatomy, etc.-btw, try 'rhyolite', 'vesicular', and 'schist' (the last of which *is* a real word-a metamorphic rock, mildly metamorphosed...<- try saying that 3x fast!!!)

just a random note-if you spell ether/aether, then try the other one, it says "already used" (in other words, they're the same one...just a 1-letter boost for that, kinda like '(o)esophagus' or 'am(o)eba' etc.)

After A bit, I realise that two minds are better than one, even if one is small. So i call my little sister to think up words when i run out or am frustrated

I don't know how other people do it
but I choose the subject I'm best at (science) and recite all the big words I know about it
I just recite the periodic table

Here's how you can do it even if you're not good in such games or not english native: Put only certain letters in the boiler and create a list of twenty-something words which all contains those letters and simply process the list without thinking. Of course, special letters like the exploding ones will help. I used A, S and P and used the words: scrape, stamps, jackpots, spatial, praxis, skyscraper, scraper, scraping, passing, pass, passive, passport, bypass, passed, spam, spamming, spams, staple, spale, stapling, praise, stable, stalemate, postcards, spade, spades, pays. It takes out the fun of this game a litte bit but it makes it easier for badge-whores like me.

Even non-native speakers can get hard badge. Just fill your chamber with only one letter e.g. W (plus few high-level brass\jade) and then just type all the words with this letter without looking much on the screen.

It lacks a significant amount of domain-specific vocabulary. From every domain.
It really kills the fun when your favorite word is just not there. Then the second one. And the third one...
Otherwise, this game would be something to return to.

If there's a letter in the boiler that I use as the first letter of the word, it won't put the word in the boiler there.
Is this intentional? I find this really annoying.

Honestly, enough practice and you can spell opposition to the Anglican Church without looking and in a matter of a couple seconds.

I find myself using the same words over and over again. I thought this would be easy but its actually not! Great game and I find it very challenging! Heaps of fun though..

"I" before "e" except after "c"... and in neighbor... and weigh... and pretty much all the time because that rhyme is bull.

a wide library of words, repetitive yet addictive and intense gameplay, and that simply infectious music, make for thehands-down the most original revamp of the qwerty type-to-kill games yet 5/5 as scale only goes up that high
