I'll give an example. I tried putting in the word "mute" once, and the game said "etum" is not a word.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Technically this can happen with any word the game gets backwards. Maybe there's a specific direction the game checks words?<o:p></o:p></p><p>My suggestion, to prevent this happening in the future, if it keeps happening, would maybe be to add a suggestion for marking the start of words. There could be a checkbox or something for me to tell the game, Hey this is the 1st letter.<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Just my thoughts.
