I imagine compound words just aren't as big of a deal in greek. Compound words are mostly a germanic thing, but can exist in other languages around the world. Not every language necessarily has them, or instinctively uses them.
All I can figure out is that, as a Hellenic transliteration of a fairly short English word which we probably all know, which repeats one consonant and one vowel, it will help in learning π, ο, κ, ρ, and ν and in recognizing them by sight in other words.

I've seen too much kaomoji and now when I look at ποπ I just see an emoticon of a person crying
I really struggled to get this with the synthesised speech. The 'π's sound like 'κ's & it sounded like one word -> 'κοκόρν'.

There was no option to select "good" so I had to just say "the popcorn" although I knew it was wrong!!
Maybe because nice was an option in the "Select the tiles" exercise, and not good? Tile exercises are not something we can control, so pretty much any alternative could pop (no pun intended xD) up. ^.^

You can always opt to choose the "USE KEYBOARD" button during a word bank exercise, in case you don't see a word that you want. (And yes, there have been exercises where a word and any of its synonyms were left out of the choices completely-- not in Greek that I have seen though.)
It depends on your internet device. If you are on an iPhone or iPad, under “Settings” go to general>keyboard>Add new keyboard. You can select from there (also includes fun stuff like Russian, Chinese, as well as many European languages that have special accents, etc). Then, when you want to use a different keyboard, you click the globe key and gives you a list of the keyboards you have loaded, you select Greek. To go back to English, click the globe again (between the microphone and 123). I’m guessing android has some similar setup process, but I’m not sure what it is. If you are on a computer, I can’t help other than to tell you to google “alternate keyboards on a Windows PC (or Mac)”
