There is some bug in the sorting, because it sorted “vol” after “volatile” for me. It seems to depend on some previous state, though, because I couldn’t reproduce it in a new window.

It seems the previous guess is always placed either one up or one down from the entry box. So if you're guessing "V" words, then type "apple", then "apple" will show after "vodka". So the list is not getting re-alphabatized.

Right. My word was before "wizard," and later I guessed "yesterday," which is after wizard. It put yesterday adjacent to the entry box, before wizard. Same is true for words before the word. Basically, if I make bad guesses, it doesn't list them in alpha order.

I had a similar issue. Void sorted before Vogue. Breaks the game totally as far as I can tell.

It might not be sorted intentionally as part of the challenge of the game.
