For some reason, some words are only accepted as correct if you use accents that are not even official elements of the Russian language but only intended to help with pronunciation. For example, “новички” is not accepted as a correct answer because the program expects “новички́”. This makes no sense and is an absolute pain in the backside.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am playing “50,000 Most Common”.
Yep, I’ve experienced the same exact problem with >50 000 most common Russian words. The accents are written in Russian dictionaries, but they’re not a part of standard written Russian at all. On a sidenote, the bots have trouble distinguishing е and ё, and reads one as the other and vice versa quite often.
