Word Game Sometimes Accept Any Word

in Working with GS (Mac)
So I'm currently using that 60,000 word list with my first game.

During random moments, the game allows random words to be accepted if the first part of the string is a real word.

Example:

I tap GAS and it is okay.
Then I tap G A S S and it is okay.
Then I tap G A S S again and it is okay, completely ignoring my rule.
After this happens, I can do G A S S V F G H R E W S G and that is also accepted. :/

This also likes to happen with BOSS, BOSSTESSS, etc...

Just a step in the right direction would be great.

I attached the game just incase anyone wants to take a look.

**Also how do I get the black PRO ICON, I want to be cool, I've been pro for about 3 days now!

    Only thing I can help with on my phone right now is your pro badge. @saladstraightshooter or @braydon_sfx will take care of the badge.

    If you don't get a answer before I get to my computer I will take a look at your project.

    Others were having this issue when Tshirt made the Boggle demo. If I remember correctly, you need to open an otherwise section of a certain rule and tell it to make sure it's not a word....

    I'll see if I can dig through the code and find the fix.

    I thought it would be something similar to that but couldn't figure it out. However learning this is going much better than my attempt at Objective-C haha... :((

    Take a look at the pic attached - I think this is your problem.

    That fixed it... Wow thank you so much! A simple mistake like that broke the game, just like a semicolon in a wall full of code.
