UX Writing Challenge: Day 3
Scenario: The user entered the wrong email address to sign in to their account.

Challenge: Tell the user to enter the right email.

40 characters max

--

"Wrong email. Check format: [email protected]"

Why I chose this:

1. Within 40 characters
2. Clear
3. Concise
4. Quickly guiding
5. Immediately inform

Here is the possible design using the prompt in Figma

Conclusion:

The message effectively addresses the user's error by being brief and direct. It stays within the 40-character limit, clearly communicates the issue, and provides an immediate example of the correct format. This approach minimizes user frustration and helps them quickly resolve the problem without confusion.
