I think you should have a more efficient UI for either skipping a word or showing the hint. For apps where the user is expected to interact intensively with the system, it pays off to have special ways to save even a few seconds of time per interaction. For example if I were going to use the system for five hours, I would guess that I would waste 10-20 minutes in aggregate time moving my hand to the mouse to click on the “show hint” button.
Cool site!

Hitting the ‘escape’ key is the same as clicking on ‘Show Hint’. It isn’t explained very well on the site; I will do better.
I agree very much with your sentiment. Once you start practicing, your hands should not leave the keyboard.
