AHA!

I change your words without asking, because I'm certain I know best.

AHA! Daily #002 · Thursday 12 November · What am I?

The four clues

  1. 1I change your words without asking, because I'm certain I know best.
  2. 2I've caused more awkward messages than any person you know.
  3. 3I live inside your phone's keyboard, quietly judging your spelling.
  4. 4I'm the reason you once texted “ducking” when you definitely meant something else.

In the game you get one clue at a time: solve it on clue 1 for 100 points, clue 2 for 75, clue 3 for 50, clue 4 for 25.

The answer
Autocorrect

Why?

Autocorrect swaps what you typed for what it thinks you meant, confidently, silently, and often wrongly. Which is how so many perfectly innocent ducks end up in angry texts.
