I already shared a sample project with all words.

You can use it from the project. It is there as a text of comma delimited words.

Here is the source of the list.

That is the beauty of it. It supposed to be a **challenge** , not just a typical app.

🤣

@sketch did the builder crash or the actual app?

I know the builder isn’t a fan of long texts like that. If you store the same in a cloud variable, you can cal it from the app without bogging down the editor with all that text.

One idea is to complete a hard refresh and only have 1 Thunkable tab open plus no other resource intensive websites/apps.

Nice! Can I ask how you converted the list of words to a comma-separated list? I tried a few online converters before you posted that and none of them worked for me.

From the GitHub page, display them as **raw** then copy them and save them to a text block.  
From here you can make a list from text using `[SPACE]` as the separator or cheat just like I did that I first replace `[SPACE]` to `[COMMA]` then saved it again as CSV.

Almost done! Just cleaning up the reset blocks for generating a new word and then I’ll post a more detailed share of this.

This is great! Here’s a glitch I found though:  
I played the first time, lost and then got an alert saying that I lost and then aksing me if I wanted to share/play again. I clicked Play, and then I didn’t get an alert when I won on the 5th try. Does it check only after 6 tries?

@rishabh_jain

Here are screenshots from Thunkable Live on iPhone 11. You can see there is a problem with the word AORTA. The secret word BARON only has one A but in the screenshot, both As that I played are marked as correct but in the wrong position.

I had the same issue with my project until I started removing letters I had checked already from a list and then comparing the guessed letter to the _remaining letters in the list_ instead of the whole secret word every iteration of the loop.

You also need to add some spaces to the YOU LOST message.

i had actually encountered that same issue but i only removed the letter from the target when there’s an exact match - i should be doing the same thing for letters that are found but not in exact position!

I tried the link you posted above. Is it still the old link? There were some problems…

The secret word was CORKS. When I guessed COOPS, it showed both Os as being in the word. When I guessed CORKS on my last guess, it said YOU LOST and didn’t have spaces in the alert message.
