Why do I have to click on scrambled words to have a conversation?

I found the way that you converse with other characters to be very frustrating and slow. You are told what word to look for and you find the scrambled version in a cloud of scrambled words. Perhaps this is fun for some but I wanted to solve the puzzle of who the murderer was, not look for words.
