Description
Some feedback from a user having difficulty with data entry on a mobile screen:
The space for entering information is way too small and cluttered, in portrait and (worse) in landscape position of the screen alike.
There is no “enter” key, so one does not know how to finalize an entry and proceed to a next new entry.
We may want to design a simple (dialog?) component for entering a single word that is designed for small screens, e.g., a minimal version of the Review Entries component for editing an entry.

Research direction
Start by locating the DataEntry and Review Entries components and reviewing how entry completion currently works on mobile. Define the small-screen interaction for entering one word, including a clear way to finalize it and begin the next entry. Done means data entry is less cluttered in portrait and landscape and the next-entry flow is unambiguous.
