Solved! I set the app to perform 4 checks:

1. Check the quantity of letters
2. Check that I have all the letters in the message (e.g. I don't have a comma so I can't use a comma in a message)
3. Check that the length is under 24 characters (8 tiles * 3 rows)
4. Check to see if any words would need to be split between lines (e.g. if I want to put "Weird words split weird", it technically is under 24 characters but I would need to split one of the words across 2 rows to make it fit. If this happens, it gives the user a warning
