BUG:

I guessed "LATER", but it said - wrong and mentioned "ALERT". The only fix I would make is to ensure that all possible words with scrambled characters make sense.

LATER and ALERT are both correct, for text "A E R T L"

One of my winning words was “BAITH” which google tells me is scottish haha. Is this intentional OP?

Oh it was supposed to be Habit…

Yeah I got Baith too, I have no idea what that is, I just guessed it because, you know, it looks like it’d fit as a rare English word.
