should we be lenient for definite articles in English? #367

But I'm not sure... should we be lenient in this situation or not? after all the "the" is the "en" at the end of the Danish word...

I think in this case, it's an important part of learning Danish to look for those determinants. I think what we could do instead is to provide a hint in case you write a correct part of a word, but you are missing something more.

I have given a test to this in the past, but the issue is when you have a typo in the rest - imagine if you had typed "helth" this substring check would fail. I had a similar issue with Bacheloruddannelsen:

I believe I talked with Merle about this one, but at the end of the day, after 1 or 2 incorrect attempts you should start remembering what it is. I think especially because now we limit the number of words, it will make it easier.
