    Hello Olivia,

    Thank you for posting on our forum. Our deepest apologies for the inconvenience with the plugin.

    There are two options of word verification which will help to protect the forms from receiving spam entries or entries generated by robots.

    Simple Captcha – This is an automatically generated set of number and letters. You can change the number of the displayed symbols: from 3 to 9 symbols.

    ReCaptcha. This is an alternative option for Captcha that uses Public and Private Keys. You will need to create reCaptcha keys. To do so, please follow the link https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ . After getting the keys you need to fill them out in Form Maker > Global Options section. This way you will not have to type the keys for each form separately.

    You can also use IP blocking,

    Go to Plugins > FormMaker > Blocked IPs.
    IP. Provide the IP address you want to block in the line.

    Hope this will help you,
    Thank you!
