If you're typing and hit the enter key it should start fresh so the first letter will be accepted.

I think what's happening is you're typing in a few letters of one word, then moving on to the next word with a new letter that's not adjacent to the previous ones. Typing a letter that's not adjacent causes the word to fail, and that letter won't be part of the next word. So if we had a 3x3 board

A B C D E F G H I

And I typed ABC GHI, it would only count HI since G was part of the failing word ABCG.

This is how it's supposed to work, but it can get a little trippy some times. If what I explained is not what's happening, and it's just not picking up the first letter in a normal case, let me know!

It didn't keep my formatting for the letters, but you can imagine a 3x3 board with those letters ;)

Ah, well I'll take a look then because that shouldn't be happening

I'm using the mouse.

Pushed a fix for that, let me know if it did the trick!

Seems to be better. Ah! The game is very addicting.
