I'd have liked if instead of having to press enter a correct word would automatically be accepted. For detecting incorrect words you'd then have to check if what is being typed matches any of the words and if not then you could play a (loud) incorrect buzzer noise to let the player know they aren't typing something correctly. Also closing the error popup is kinda finicky, I think the hitbox can be bigger.
Lastly, I haven't quite understood the reason behind the challenge popup that forces me to write a new different word, since I am already barely able to write most of the words that I have to, this just makes me unable to finish the entire list of them. Also, is the page background made with AI?
The game is rough around the edges but I did enjoy the graphics and sounds, something like a combo system could work well with the current implementation!

now that you mention it making it so that it is automatically accepted is so much better, and i’ve gotten complaints about the hitbox of the pop up so i should have made that bigger or changed the cursor to be more responsive. the challenge popup was the last thing i implemented as a way to add more obstacles but i fear it made it too hard to get the headlines you wanted, maybe more time to the rounds or removing the popup would have been better.
Nothing is made with AI in this game btw just to clarify. I like the idea of a combo system and all your other suggestions. ty so much for playing and giving so much feedback I appreciate it. I’ll keep in mind everything you said if i polish up the game after the jam ends🙏
