Give this a try. Instead of using the key stroke to change slides, you use it to change focus. This forces your user input to be saved to a variable so you can test it. If it passes the test, then trigger next slide. If not, put your focus back where your user was typing.
Create your text box: UserWord
Create an object. Move it off screen: Submit
Define a text variable with your saved word: goal
UserWord will already have a trigger: When UserWord loses focus Set TextEntry equal to the typed value
Create trigger: When UserWord loses focus Jump to slide next slide If TextEntry = variable goal Else: Set focus on UserWord
Create trigger: When the user presses D after clicking on UserWord Set focus on Submit
