Some feedback: On mobile, why is there a custom keyboard? I found it pretty annoying. I kept getting missed taps, and at least one wrong guess due to a typo I didn’t catch before. It doesn’t seem like the system keyboard’s spellchecking would interfere with the puzzle, so why not just use it? Is it an issue with layout consistency?

Otherwise I quite liked the puzzle.

I also find the keyboard so terrible!
Not having a 'space' button was helpful for me in getting going without the tutorial.
Yeh use native inputs unless you absolutely need a custom one.
Same feedback from me, puzzle was great but the custom keyboard is really hard to use, seems to misplace clicks a lot and it has no haptic feedback
These kind of games rely on custom keyboards. Using the native control would be a lot more difficult.
