Sorry, but I'm still not clear what 'the word is finished being spelled' means.

Could it be paraphrased, for example, by 'the suggested word is the same length as the intended word?

    Not_a_Number,
    Let me walk you through a complete example and see if that does not clarify things: 
    Mystery text = "kiss me"
input:  5
output: l

input:  4
output: li

input:  7
output: lit

input: 7
ouput: lips

input:  -     # correct word length, wrong word
output: kiss

input:  +     # correct word
output: kiss  # clusmy interface - repeats correct word

input:  6
output: n

input:  3
output: of

input:  -     # correct word length, wrong word
output: me

input:  +     # correct word
output: me    # clusmy interface - repeats correct word

      But then, why do you need the zero button for space?

        ambrus,
        Er um, because the example is flawed and I forgot the space.
