      The submitWord function is used to submit a word that the player has created. It takes in no parameters and returns a boolean value of true if the word was submitted successfully, or false if it wasn't. The function first gets the answer from getWord(), which is then split into an array of strings, where each string represents one part of the answer (the word itself, its starting row position on boardProperty, its starting column position on boardProperty and whether it's horizontal or vertical). Then we call model.submitWord() with these values as parameters to check whether this move is valid according to our game rules (
