Easter Egg: Nerdspeak and Lingo

Enter the following nerdspeak phrases and/or lingo to get the rather unexpected results below:

  • UR MOM - Summons a zombie

Cheat: Move a Starite Through a Metal Beam

To move a Starite through a solid metal beam, attach the starite to a chain, and the chain to the beam. If the beam is lying flat, the Starite will fall through the beam. If its vertical, use a Fan (tool) and direct it through the beam. It will fly through while still attached to the chain.

Cheat: Bring the Starite to You

A glitch, of sorts, in Scribblenauts can make the "Get the Starite" levels a breeze. Create "HANDCUFFS" and attach one end to the Starite. Create a "VENDING MACHINE" and set it next to the Starite, stretching the free handcuff over and attaching it to the machine. After attaching it, you'll suddenly get the option to "fill" the machine with the cuffs and, surprisingly, the Starite attached to them. You can now freely move that vending machine to your location, unpack it and grab the Starite. It's crude, cowardly and oh-so-effective.

Hint: Easy Ollars

On the final "Get to the Starite" level, you can reach the Starite by walking over to the four walls, waiting for them to move up and simply grabbing the Starite. Yeah it's that easy. 24 under par gets you about 6000 Ollars plus however much you get for finishing the level in 20 seconds. You can do this many times for easy Ollars.

Hint: Taming the Beast

Any monster/creature that is big enough to ride but also wants to kill you can be tamed if you feed it three times. It will fall asleep and then -- when it wakes up -- you can ride on it.

Cheat: Them's Cheatin Words!

Enter the following terms for extremely useful things:

  • Invincibility Cloak - Put this on and you'll take no damage
  • Invisibility Cloak - Harmful creatures won't be able to see you with this item equipped
  • Pocket Knife - (Weapon) Infinitely useful!
  • Lunar Rover - Cancel out gravity in style

Unlockable: Alternate Costume

Complete all the Challenges to unlock the alternate costume for Maxwell. This costume is identical to the costume of the character that appears when you type SCRIBBLENAUT.

Easter Egg: Space Level

Enter the word TELEPORTER in the main menu/ lobby to be sent to a secret space level.

Cheat: Re-Use Words in Challenge Mode

Challenge Mode encourages you to get creative by not allowing you to use the same words in three separate trials. If you are feeling uncreative, you can take advantage of The Great Adjective Exploit to bypass this entirely: just add an adjective (or gibberish) in front of a word and the game will give you a free pass to use it again. For instance, to "reuse" MONSTER, type SCARY MONSTER or GIANT MONSTER and the game will react as if you just used the term MONSTER for the first time!
