does delete_timer ++; work in GM 7.5?

I'm getting this error:

___________________________________________
FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Step Event
for object obj_prog:

COMPILATION ERROR in code action.
Error in code at line 19:
delete_timer ++;

at position 15: Assignment operator expected.

Is there any way to fix this?

Plus can I set coordinates for the text and make it go to the next line when it reaches certain coordinates?

Replace ...

delete_timer ++;

... with ...

delete_timer = delete_timer + 1;

is it possible to lets say have a list of words thats not shown ingame, and if you write one of the words and pressing enter etc something happens and if not writing one of the words in the list but something else ,just a beep and field is cleared again?

BTW: on a smartphone, will the alphabet automatically pop up? or is it a way to call it up so u can write?
