Right now, I freaking hate that game. It was fun, until my computer started being screwy and stuff. I couldn't get the bonus levels done because my computer kept lagging. On the regular levels, I could get in about one word before the next line dropped down. And it wasn't that I didn't see any words. On the contrary, I saw many words I could submit, my computer was just too slow (or Gaia was being slow, either one). Apparently the even if the letter drop slowly and the words submit slowly, the time doesn't slow down! Grr. Also, I was clicking on the letters faster than my computer could respond so sometimes I would miss letters and have to go back.

There were a bunch of times I could have gotten finished with one of the gold letters and I was clicking submit, but by the time the computer got around to actually submitting the word, the next line had dropped. That was pretty much the reason I was limited to one word per line drop.

In the beginning, and by beginning I mean first 20 or so levels, I thought the game was like more timed Boggle. So naturaly, I was playing by Boggle rules where a player has to be able to find words were the letters to the words connect letter to letter consecutivly. It wasn't until I messed up (when my computer started slowing down) that I clicked on the wrong letter but when I submitted it, it was still valid. That definately helped a lot, learning that I could just use whatever letters I pleased.

The fact that when you submit a word, the letters have to fall down, really bugs me. The game would be a lot easier if if just happened instantanously. Long before the letters finish falling, I know what my next word is, but I can't click on the letters because they are still falling! Grr. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

I did get a ton of gold from it though. I would have gotten a lot more, and quicker if the game wasn't so freakin' slow.
