@overturner, when I start the app and see something like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/0/a0267f55e5ee8dfa2bfd8888a16628364c9772fd.png) …and then type e into the text input and click on the Check button, my score goes down by 1. So if I had -6 points, it then goes to -7. Am I doing something wrong? ---

@tatiang well you were supposed to type the whole word You can also see the other app by using the bottom tab navigator (Thanks for your feedback , I will try to change it to accepting only the missing letters, but for now, that’s how it works) ---

I had the same confusion tatiang did! 🙂 Maybe you just need to add a label with some instructions. ---

I tried it but I need your help. I made the design. Now I cannot understand how to do the code. My design is different as it has 6 images for hangman and win image and lose image. There is a text input which would take a letter and aa button to execute the action. I need help. If a person writes a wrong letter, it would be shown below wrong letters. If you see the design, you will understand everything. I need your help for the CODE. This is the link- [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/60f02f765a047b01b4453043) ---
