Words-4 on os373pyg on XO-1
Start a new session of Words, the default languages should be English->Spanish
Type "mascot", the translation will be "chew" which is incorrect.
This appears to be because mascot matches the Spanish word mascar which has a reverse translation of chew in english.
When the word to translate no longer matches a word in the dictionary, the last matching (partial or otherwise) translation should not be shown.
I don't know if this is the right thing to do, imho i preffer to have 'a' suggestion than nothing.
i think the right thing to do here is keep adding things to the .txt files in order to have a broader DB for words.

Just adding mascot mascota on spanish.txt file shoudl do to fix this.
