There is a glitch preventing me from leveling up after level 10 and level 15.

Thank you for catching this!

How do I submit words?

(1 edit)

You should be able to press the “ENTER” key or click on the “Fight!” button to submit a word.

If those aren’t working, it’s possible some game rule is preventing the submission.

  • Words in your memory list (recently used) cannot be used again
  • There’s a pretty limited English dictionary that the word must be in
  • A word must be at least the minimum character length for your character’s minimum word stat
  • Some enemies and player characters add other restrictions

Finally, if it’s not of these things, it could be a bug!

No I just can't type anything

Oh, wow. That’s a new bug for me then!

What operating system and browser are you using?

Oh wait never mind I was trying to use capital letters since character and enemy letters are capital :P

Oh wow! That’s a good catch though. Capital letters should definitely also be allowed, haha.

In my 9th fight I am playing SQUIRE against GHOUL (5hp, Curse - Lock player vowels). So, I can't use u,i,e. I feel like it could be an automatic lose as I don't think there are many (if any) English words that are 4 letters and uses only "S,Q,R,G,H,L,O" ... or maybe I am just bad at spelling and finding words XD

Also, there should be a way of paying hp or losing score to have a valid word being recommended to you. So that you can avoid the state of just staring at the screen not sure if a suitable word even exists or not LOL

Ahh, yeah, I was running into that in testing. The NOBLE can really get locked up against enemies like that too.

I do see a SLOG in there though! But still… Your point stands!

After I get the first planned enemy sequence in, I’ve got this sort of thing on my list. I don’t like how you can sort of just get stuck in word games like this. The idea of paying hp or something of that nature to reveal a possible word is an interesting idea. 🤔

I do think GHOUL is always gonna be pretty darn tough as is though. Its ability probably needs to go on an enemy with more letters.

I think this is the first time i heard the word slog 😅. I learned a new English word today 😅👍🏾.

Or maybe you can limit the ghoul to blocking one or two vowels only

just to verify my understanding and experience: 

if the word doesn't use enemy letters it does 0 damage

if I avoid the number of letters mentioned in the enemy attack i will receive 0 hits

Both assumptions/observations are correct?

You are correct on both accounts! The rules are a bit tricky to get at first glance. :-)

The other note worth clarifying:

  • Say your enemy will do: 2 ⚔️ in 5 🔠
  • You submit a 4 letter word
  • Your enemy will NOT attack, but they will update to: 2 ⚔️ in 1 🔠

So, the those letter counts are sort of like a count down.

Also, if you kill an enemy before it’s countdown goes off, or on the word its countdown goes off, they should not damage you.
