Think it's per level. It's in the dev walkthrough video in my first post now. But I forgot how long it carries over if you replay the level multiple times. I think the question was asked in this thread, but I'm not sure if it was answered.

For people who keep asking about the amount of times you can have to uniquely solve a level before you can reuse words, here is a quote from Jackson back in the first thread about this game back in December 08:

I have no idea of iPhone development costs, how easy it would be to port to the iPhone, or any of that, so take this with a grain of salt, but how exactly would they NOT make money with this game on more than one platform? Especially a game that's so perfectly fit for a quick pick up and play experience on a phone?
I mean, I'm intrigued by this game and all, but I'm not going to buy a DS *just* for this one game. I currently have a PSP sitting in the corner gathering dust that only gets picked up when I go on business trips. But I *always* have my phone with me. I just can't justify spending $200 or whatever on this one game, as great as it may be.
At the end of the day, though, I see so much promise in this game, and it really NEEDS to be played by as many people as possible. It really deserves it.

I am way late to the party. Mother of God this is GOTY material. It should at least be considered. Amazing, damn.

Are you fucking insane? How has a DS purchase not been justified yet? There are so many amazing games for that thing, it's ridiculous.
Best system evar? It's certainly possible.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
How would this not make money on the iPhone? I think it might arguably make more there.
But no harsh feelings here, it will be in my DS come hell or high water.

Porting costs and the sales potential/profit margins on the iPhone for a 15 dollar game are the two main issues I foresee. 5th Cell hasn't had any inclinations to do it with their first two titles, so I'm not sure if they are going to change their mind for this game. As I said, Jackson can correct me if I'm wrong on that front.
Obviously it's a personal choice whether you pick up a DS for one game or not. At least one person in this thread has indicated that they will. But the DS is not solely a Scribblenauts player and has stellar titles that appeal to everyone. It seems like you're not completely averse to playing portables, so maybe it will be a good idea to invest it a DS and treat Scribblenauts as a killer ap and a gateway game to a new platform. If you can't justify it, then you miss out, at least for now. Not the end of the world.

I actually think that's pretty catchy...and everyone saying "port it to x/y/z platform" please shut the hell up, if you wanna support it get a DS. Hell, a used phat ds can be had pretty damn cheap. Them taking time and money to release it for a lower price on an iphone doesn't make a lick of sense, same for psp/360 and whatever other damn platform you want it ported too, these guys are doing an amazing job so let them do it.

Who the hell doesn't have a DS?
Anyway, I'm not sure if this is a rent or a buy. But I'm definitely going to play this game.

:lol @ not owning a DS. Some of you guys are surreal.
...or should that be
?
Anyway, let's keep the begging to a minimum and concentrate onverbally fellating giving positive reinforcement to Jackson&Co. They seem to have earned it, even if only 1% of the hype was justified. (Which is a preposterous idea....)

I have a DS, and will buy it for DS. but I'd LOVE an iPhone version too.

How many times will this have to repeated? Both handwriting recognition and an on-screen keyboard are included in the game. (Gah beaten!) But yeah I think more handwriting impressions are needed, did anyone try out handwriting on the show floor build (if it was available)?

Man pple really want all games not on Nintendo systems these days....
from a certain banned site these words are included:
Internet - spawn a computer
Tattoo - spawn a sheet of temporarily tattoo
Air - tiny puff of air that, when dragged and dropped, is absorbed into the surrounding air
Molecule - tiny model of a molecule
Scribblenauts - causes the original character model for Maxwell to appear.
Narwhal - cause a horn-touting whale to appear
Lutefisk - a bright white fish appeared and began to flop around the level
Plumbob - No dice! The game's lead designer was hanging over our shoulder as we entered in this unrecognized word. He quickly asked what it was, pulled out his phone and feverishly sent some unknown party a text message. "Okay," he said. "It'll be in the final product."

Also apparently "plumbob" refers to some sort of indicator that appears above a "The Sims" character, but I haven't played the series and I'd assume that wouldn't be a normal guaranteed word.
So it occurred to me today. God is in.
Is Muhammad?
I have some basic experience in programming, and it seems to me that it honestly wouldn't be that hard. Each object might have a list of objects they're "afraid of" or "can use" and then has boolean flags for things like "edible", "sentient", or "usable". I bet the most time consuming part of the process in creating an object is just having the artists drawing them. If making an object takes more than 10-15 minutes I'd be surprised.

That's not necessarily why I'm bringing it up. I don't expect Muhammad to have insta-win abilities or anything - that'd be "Allah" which should theoretically spawn the same sprite as "God".
I'm bringing it up because of the whole forbidden thing in portraying them. I think it'd be funny if you wrote/tapped in Muhammad and got nothing but a silhouette or a pixelization censor.
