[BUG] Extra characters can be entered via the Jumble visual keyboard beyond the character limit

[paulkim26]

Describe the bug

In Jumble, the user can enter additional characters into the visual keyboard even if the character limit in the input field is reached. These extra characters cannot be seen but are present - you can tell because you can backspace them.

To Reproduce

1. Go to https://ikeawordgames.com/en/jumble/easy.
2. Open the visual keyboard.
3. Fill out the input field, then add a couple extra characters.
4. Press backspace on the visual keyboard. Nothing changes.
5. Only upon pressing backspace more times, will the changes in the input field be visible.

Expected behavior

It should not be possible to enter extra characters into the input field. If the input field is filled and a backspace is pressed, the user would expect to see characters being deleted.

Screenshots

Result after pressing the backspace on the visual keyboard after the input field is filled. Note that the input field is still full (has 4 letters).

Additional context

If this issue is accepted, I would greatly appreciate it if was labelled as a hacktoberfest issue.
