Might be a good idea to have a "are you sure about that" popup for 3 letter answers

Incorrect answers I mean obviously.

Since those aren’t subject to the spelling checker algorithm (which is ok but it should also probably be a popup rather than just accepting the answer? Since I have had some comically bad answers accepted by the spelling checker algorithm; I can’t remember the silliest but it was basically the complete opposite meaning which was accepted).

Just typo’d BONE radical as BOE for context. My keyboard doesn’t work that great after beer o’clock :wink: And I type too fast to check everything before hitting enter (which is just a reflex anyway really).

EDIT: Also the (recently added?) “We’ve recently changed the meaning for that item” thingio should just tell you what the meaning changed to really… at least the very first time? It’s annoying to have to copy/paste the kanji into the search bar on another tab, and guessing what the meaning has changed to is not really a goer is it? Just show the new meaning at least once!

Example: “To be humid” was fine I thought and then you changed it to the unguessable and not something very many people would say “To get hot and sticky” I mean wtaf.
