- How does hard mode work? How do you input answers or finish the puzzle if there's no submit button?
  
  You just type the word and once you get to the end, if it is the correct word, spelled correctly, it will grab it. You don’t get “wrong guesses” but you get your keystrokes counted and get penalized for going over minimum needed keystrokes.

I really wish they didn't track keystrokes as a stat. Just punishes people for typos for no reason.
- If you let the auto text fill in the words it only counts the letters you type to get the word to show up in the auto type line. I often can finish with fewer keystrokes that it says are the minimum.
  
  That's pretty funny, and also yet another reason it's a useless stat.
