Questions

Why does this game focus on single letters?

Spanish spelling turns on small details — an accent, a ñ, a double r, a b versus a v. Restoring one letter at a time makes you look straight at the part of the word that is easiest to get wrong.

Do the accents matter?

Yes — accented letters appear as their own keys, and an á is not the same answer as an a. That's deliberate: the accent changes which syllable is stressed.
