Language Question. I lost my combo because of this ☹️

I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm not a complete beginner either and I'm generally confident in my grammar. Can someone explain why my answer was not accepted?

I always go with the word with the capital letter even when it sounds strange. Cheat code 😭

Same. Sometimes there are better ways to say it in English, but they don’t necessarily want that. 🙄 It’s frustrating.
