So far, I don't think I've had any problems with actual words not registering. Was very surprised to see that "Lagomorph" (Hell, my browser doesn't even recognize it as a word), "Incest", and "Adultery" were all valid (I used them for the bonuses, shush). Honestly a really fun game though, I like how you can collect letters as you progress and combine them into more valuable ones. Not some linear garbage where you hop level to level endlessly with no sense of accomplishment or reward.

As many others have said, it's pointless saying there's a bonus for word of the day on dictionary.com when said word is not recognised as a real word.

Since when "Texas" is a word and "Latin" is not? There are so many things it doesn't register. Well, it is quite stupid for a machine so intelligent. On a side note "Coming soon" in a nine years old game.

For being presented by Dictionary.com, they really need to add more words to the dictionary. Lots of basic words are considered invalid...

There's a system that nullifies damage for words already used, but the game only keeps track of the last 20 used words. So all you have to do to beat the game is to craft a dictionary of at least 21 words, type it until the end and repeat. Works particularly well with Ragnarr's strategy (filling your boiler with just F, L, and Y). Here's the dictionary I used: Fly Flay Fley Flaxy Flyby Fluky Flaky Flawy Flyoff Fluffy Flyway Flyboy Fleshy Flyaway Flyways Flyaways Fretfully Fully Lullaby Slyly Flyable Flyblow

I absolutely love this game! I still get surprised by how some words made the cut as real words, such as some viral enzyme called neuraminidase!

fun game. Apparently i got the badge of the day in 2009! Ha! I've been on kongregate too long. if this is the "prelude" where's the sequel?!

Could you please expand this games dictionary? It's somewhat frustrating to be told your word is invalid when you took your time coming up with something that includes all the given letters.

The game tells me to check the "word of the day", today its "summerize"... and it`s not a valid word, like many others. Feels like the games dictionary is very limited.

A great strategy to do is to type out numbers, one by one. Starting from one, two, three, four, five ... until you beat the game.

@the Developer: You do know that spiders are NOT bugs, right? They're arachnids. Completely different species from "bugs."

Game Over on the first mission. We are not librarians. If all games you'd be like this I prefer to study in the university LOL.

"thigmotropism?" you've gotta be friggin' kidding me. i think i got better ammo from whipping out "oubliette" (35) on the first level. no thanks.

The game is really poorly done. If you want to make a word game that is dictionary based, the first step is to make sure the dictionary is correct. Apparently 'tase' is not a word, along with a bunch of other legitimate words... The fact that there are freely available *accurate* dictionaries for programmers says something about this game...

the formula simply doesnt work as it says. ive tried several ways of adding stones of the same level in pairs of 2,3 and 4 of the same or different but it refuses to work.

boiler management seems to be the most difficult thing. I tried to get one of each letter but that just resulted in way too many XYZQ coming up.
should probably try to stagger it to have more of the low value letters

Some of the info needs better explanations. Like "once all letters are used, the yare recycled like a deck of cards" In the current game or? Do all my letters in the boiler remain throughout the game except when i transmute them?

"TIPS: The letters in the boiler are the letters that are going to show up to use during the game. Find letters by killing bugs." so basically just kill bugs and the letters are random? Word length etc has nothing to do with it?
