This reminds me of a Ludum Dare entry from April called DEADLine but different in its own way. However, I couldn't get past the MAN EATAH stage. I saw in the console it was throwing some error for plant_update function, but it was extremely difficult to get peppers to grow. My WPM is 100+, so I don't know how to do it! Great job, though. I also thought it'd be cool if the words got longer and longer each round and some SFX when completing a word, maybe? All in all, great stuff!

Wow! You totally played it up to last stage! Maybe you are not killing MAN EATAH that fast? Because MAN EATAH will spawn every 5 seconds (all the same with other monsters) and during that idle time you must enter a word to maintain your combo count (for damage output). And then when you retry (in case you lost), your harvests are still there. So it can help you to get to the required count for the next retry.
I'll try to test it myself to see. haha I'll let you know!
And for the longer words + the comment of urodela, maybe in the future we can have a story telling mode. Where you type what you want to be in the screen? DnD moderator? Something like....
"Goblins holding goblet"
"<any name> <action> <thing>"
Once have the same pattern, summon it! xD
Thank you for playing! I'm so happy!
