1. Once a unit has been targeted, put it on top. I accidentally targeted a word I didn't mean to (duplicate first letter), but couldn't figure out what it was I needed to type, as there was another word in front of it.
2. Don't allow duplicate first letters--I'll be half way through typing a word, before I realized that it targeted a different word. Or rather, restrict it to when there are >26 words on the screen.

I still see no challenge in expert mode. Please make a harder mode :)
Expert mode was easy until you get the bigger ships throwing the whole alphabet in one-letter tiles at you. I keep starting to type a longer word and it only destroys a tiny one-letter item instead, and then starts matching something else entirely and I have to waste time finding what it focused on. I can get up to around 110wpm without errors in a general typing test, but because of this constant mistargeting, I was…

Same here, most other tools measure me at ~130wpm (if I'm nicely warmed up) but I couldn't get above ~65wpm/93% accuracy on the game.
I'd agree with the other comments about a faster progression through the game. I'd like it to quickly move forward to roughly the level I want to be on. Shunt me forward a lot, if I die then shut me back half way from where I was (e.g., 1 > 20 > 40 (died) > 30 > 35 (died) > 33 > 34, etc).
In my ideal 'expert mode' I'd want to be playing so that it quickly finds a level that I can complete a certain percentage of the time but allows me to die a few times on a level before assuming that one was too much for me; some times you get caught out by something random that causes you to fail to complete on a level you'd normally have no trouble on.
the difficulty and panic when making a typo make it for me. :)
