I might be mistaken about this, but a lot of the ones where it says that the letter kerning is wrong, looks to me like it’s the letter spacing that is wrong.

Kerning being a specific adjustment between two letters and letter spacing being the general distance between the letters.

Nevertheless a fun little quiz, but I think it needs some improvement to not be so full of essentially arbitrary design decisions. Also, to not promote dark patterns.

Designers tend to love buttons with rounded corners, but users don't care if buttons (or text input boxes) are rounded or squared, or if the magnifying glass icon in the search box is 5% bigger than the text.

Is there a standard to horizontal separator thickness? Oh, the separator didn't go the extra 20 pixels over to the edge? Whatever, the separator is there and doing its job, and it made its point.
