Łįį' bilasáana yįyą': it is just not possible to type in a mobile phone and duolingo seems to be very nitpicking about the right accents. Frustrating
I have noticed that you can get it to work if you type ' after a letter with accents. So you can type Li'i' and yi'ya'.
Try some variations. Sometimes it doesn't take. It's a hassle but you could also use the duolingo website on your phone to see if you get the letter buttons
This is the one im having trouble with tonight too! Wish theyd sort it , or at least come on here and read all the comments and give us an answer!

I had to copy and paste the word from the internet because the navajo keyboard i downloaded didn't have į with the accent. Why is doulingo so picky on the accents with this question but not others?
Navajo’s sentence structure is SOV, Subject-Object-Verb. This means that the verb will come last in the sentence rather than before the object. For example, the literal translation would be “A horse an apple is eating,” because the sentence order is different from English.
I hope this helps.
Its annoying that proper spelling is accurate for łįį, but others seem more lenient
Someone post in another if you put yį'yą' it works. Who ever suggested this Thank you!
I ended up using letters without any accents and just putting apostrophes after each letter that irl has one. Thanks for all the helpful comments that pointed me in the right direction!
Any advice on how to get a keyboard with the Navajo alphabet? I can't pass several questions because the Navajo spelling is not available on my US english keyboard (and my keyboard languages do not include Navajo).
I have tried inputting this repeatedly and can't make it work. I can't see what I'm typing when the Navajo keyboard is activated and there is no way to skip it and go on
Same happened to me. Use the desktop version (instead of the app) and it will accept your answer. It's an app glitch not compatible with English keyboard
I had more issues later on in the course. I've put it on hold until they can work out some of the problems a little better. I'm working on other languages in the meantime.

Li'i' bilasaana yi'ya'....after multiple tries that is the combination that worked for me. Best of luck!
Duolingo is pitiful for accepting "horse" translated correctly in this example here, but when it wants you to translate "horse" alone, it want accept the same exact translation. Its been 2 years with the same problem.
Duo lingo seems to let some typos slide, but this one is impossible to type on the keyboard and it isn't letting me give the correct answer
Łįį is the closest one can come to the needed characters...and causes me to keep failing...
After one million trys and no special key board this worked: Li'i' bilasa'ana yiya'
I dont have a navajo keyboard option, cant get past this exercise so i cant get through the level
