Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In both games I've played, I had times when I flipped one or more cards over to be wild and then forgot to actually add them to the word area. The action of making them wild gave me the feeling that I had already dealt with those cards and I was done with them. Each time the truncated word was accepted: temp(o) and mol(ar), so I did not get a chance to correct my mistake (I think I might have been able to flip a wild with an adjacent Mystery genre card in each case). So my suggestion is to prompt the player when they click "confirm word" while they still have unplayed wilds in their hand, to make sure they are actually done adding letters to their word. If they have no unplayed wilds I think there's no need for the prompt.

But what if we automatically add ALL cards to "current word" at the start of your turn instead? Then you'd need to actively remove the wild if you didn't want it (and no prompts needed in that case)
Could something like "add to word" be an option during the process of making a letter wild?
1) All the cards in your hand are now automatically added to the word at the start of your turn.
2) Drag and drop has been improved, so it's now easier to move cards between your hand and your word.
