We played a game in training mode with infinite words. When we finally wanted to finish the game, the only way we found was abandoning the game.
I would suggest have players click on a button to keep playing or on another button to finish the game. -

Report history
I didn't know how it was done for Concept., but I would suggest them to implement something like this too. :)
There might come a day where abandoning rates are used for something or maybe just indicated for a user, and it might distort this information. For example, in Hanabi it gives info on what type of player the user is.
And are stats generated if the game is abandoned ?
Here they complain about having to quit after someone had already left the table. And they make valid suggestions that would apply here as well, including a button like in The Crew (more or less what I suggested above) and a sudden death mode (the games woulboardgamearena.com/bug?id=70435#d end as soon as a word is not guessed).
It says that the team will always win with a score of 1. But this can never happen if players are forced to abandon the game in order to finish it.
It also says that the game will use each card once, without repeats. So, what would happen after all words have been played ? Still players would have to abandon ? This is a difficult scenario to test (the number of words is over 500). Any volunteers... ? :)
Game will end normally 😁
As for the button suggestion to have the game come to a proper ending, if not to be implemented, I think the minimum would be to inform the players during setup that they will have to abandon the game to finish it, so they know what they're getting into.
