An interesting game! Something to note is letters in typefaces are usually kerned in pairs—meaning when you tackle all the tricky pairs in a typeface, most problems are gone, such as when an angular letter meets a round one e.g. wo or a capital letter like an umbrella meeting most lowercase letters e.g. To, and some uppercase e.g TA. A lot of the 'problems' to solve in this game just wouldn't happen.
If you were to tweak the game to build typography skills it'd be about pairs and you would have to look at the typeface at different sizes. In addition there are poorly kerned typefaces out there which show what happens when no or little kerning exists. You'll find all the common places kerning is required.
Also would be fun to consider ligatures (joined letter pairs e.g. fl) that are possible too. A more stylistic way to deal with spacing between letters.
In short, cute game. Not quite a real-world practice tool!
Edit: the best version of this game would be to make a (or edit an open license) typeface :D and kern it
