Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Playing with friends and family with a video chat on the side, I have heard from a couple of players that they had actually added an extra word to their clue which was not displayed to all the guessers. I finally had this happen to me and now I think I understand that it's happening because we have added an extra tile to our clue but we haven't clicked the button at the top that says something like "Change clue" (I can't see it in the game replay). If there's a way to make it clearer to the players that just adding/removing tiles is not enough to change their clue, they also must click that button to successfully edit their clue, that would be helpful. Or, alternatively, get rid of the "Change clue" button and just make it so that after a player has submitted a clue (but before all clues are in), any changes to their clue tiles are reflected in the final clue shown to other players (assuming that's technically feasible).
