title: Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) and Utterances
body: <p>I am developing a simple, custom skill for Alexa. I have it up and running, and hosting the handler on AWS Lambda. It's working fine except...</p>
  
  <p>In the test UI, if I enter a valid utterance, e.g., help, cancel, swim, run (two custom utterances), everything works well; however, if I enter a nonsense utterance, e.g., dsfhfdsjhf, the Alexa service always maps the nonsense to the first valid intent in the intents schema.</p>
  
  <p>In my lambda code, I have a handler for handling unknown intents; however, the intent is never unknown. Is this an artifact of the test interface? Something else happening?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  John</p>
