Already went through the usual troubleshooting -- disabled / enabled, cleared cache, uninstalled update, singed out / in etc. -- but nothing helps.
The app opens, but force-closes when I start typing.
All was normal until 1 hour ago...
Any help?

*Device fully stock and untouched.

this happens only when google play services are out of date or you changed the hosts file. since you didn't root the problem will be with google play services. update play services and system update if any.
also check the keyboard which you're using, check with a different keyboard.

Apparently fixed itself -- thanks anyway @Karthik_pm. There are no Play Services or system updates for my device yet -- XT1640 DS.
Did a bunch of things, can't actually tell which one did the trick.
Digging into the app info screeen, I realized all permissions were disabled.
Re-enabled them all, app went back to normal.
Go figure...
