Small bug that allows cheating :D

I noticed something today when practicing writing the pinyin of characters. I hovered over the example sentence, and all the pinyin for the sentence, including the pinyin for the character I was going to write appeared. Not a huge deal, but it might feel a bit like cheating if you do it by mistake and see the answer before answering.

Yes, I've noticed that before. Would be nice to have it fixed, but as you say, not too important.

Good to see I'm not the only one who noticed this. I was just about to make a forum post about this issue. It's happening in Japanese, too, and when I'm practicing Kanji writing, seeing the character in context is a problem.

I think this is by design, is a solution not hovering over the sentence only after the prompt has been answered, or is this too annoying?
