backspace not deleting

Hi techies behind the board, I still haven't become used to all things different here, and I am trying to cope. While many things are really well made (like the wordlist with clickable definition) I struggle with the backspace taking you to a previous window instead of deleting the previously typed letter. I am not a very good typist, and am used to type letters q and u in a qu word ... which works differently here. Noticing my mistake the reflex is to hit backspace to delete (instead of 'return' and try again) and continue the game - but ... no continuation possible because I am already out of that game.

Might there be a way to redefine the working of the backspace key here?

cheers Snap

Hello. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Which browser are you using? It seems to be an issue with older browsers - backspace activates the back function if you are not typing in a text box. It will be easily fixable, I will update shortly. Please let me know if it works.
