I’m sorry, I’m not going to watch a 34-minute video about a different coding platform (related yes, but different) to figure out what you’re needing help with.

This is helpful:

Have you tried to set up the blocks required to do this? If so, please post a screenshot of just those blocks and I can see if I can help you fix them. Also, your screenshots are **very** small. Perhaps you can post larger ones?

I hope you don’t mind me asking but… as a doctor, why are you choosing to program hangman? Are you aware of the recent [Weekend Design Challenge](https://community.thunkable.com/t/wdc-20-can-you-build-your-own-hangman-style-word-game/1387933/)?
