I'm going with D) Navigation. Clearly, the magnifying glass gimmick is just a distraction. What these seniors really need is a big 'Enter Letter Here' button. Anything more complicated and they'll be throwing their dentures at the screen.

A) Simplicity is the way to go. These users are probably technologically challenged, so the simpler the better. Just make it idiot-proof and they'll be solving crosswords in no time!

Hmm, C) Intuitiveness is the key here. These older users need an interface that's so intuitive, they don't even have to think about how to use it. Anything less, and they'll be lost.

B) Layout seems like the obvious choice. The magnification feature is useless if the users can't figure out how to use it to see the letters clearly.

I think the answer is D) Navigation. If the beta testers are having trouble entering letters, the issue is likely with the navigation and controls, not the simplicity, layout, or intuitiveness of the app.
