Typing the accents

In the recall section you have to type the word, and correctly put in the accent. Is there a way to type the accent so you don't have to stop and use your mouse to select the correct accent?

Seems there isn't anyway to get the word typed and the correct accent selected in the first three seconds to score 10 points.

This is a question often asked. Here is one of the many good links to former questions on this subject.

Yes, this questions comes up very often. You do not specify your location in your profile but, from the way you stated your question, I am guessing that you usually type in English. There is some mention of the United States International keyboard in the posts in katydew's link but you might not have picked up on that. For someone who usually types in English, I have found that keyboard to be the easiest way to enter Spanish characters. I had to download the keyboard from Microsoft. Once installed and selected as your keyboard, you simply hit the apostrophe key and then the vowel that you want accented. If you actually want the apostrophe, you hit that key and then the space bar. You can switch back and forth from this keyboard to the US standard keyboard but I have found no reason to do so. If you have any problems setting this up just reply with further questions.
