Thanks Jema, that was my wife's car in the Cayman Islands some years ago (an ancient red one)! Let's see how this one runs: P T _ _ _ _ _ _ T _ L (one word 11 letters) a creature Letter bank (correct letters awaiting position guesses): AEY Wrong letter guesses: BFN Wrong position guesses: Wrong answer guesses: Number of wrong guesses remaining: 4

Some very astute guesswork: three hits!

Correct! I am not entirely convinced that my "letter bank" idea is adding anything worthwhile, at least in its present form. Therefore, I am going to try it with only the first and last letters being automatically added to the outline: any other letters (including letters which appear more than once) will be added to the letter bank. If that runs okay, I will pass the baton. Here's one using the revised rule: Q U A N T U M * T H E O R Y (two words 7,6) a scientific term - guessed by Niki Letter bank (correct letters awaiting position guesses): EAOTR Wrongly guessed letters: PGIS Wrongly guessed letter positions: Wrongly guessed answers: Number of wrong guesses remaining: 3

E and P How many of a correctly guessed letter that appears multiple times will go in the letter bank?
Wouldn't that jar your mustard!

Hi Jema, as many as there are in the word/expression will go into the bank.
You have one hit and one miss (makes it sound like battleships).

One hit and one miss: T occurs twice and one instance is at the start of a word, hence one now shown in the outline and the other in the letter bank. I have clarified the description, but hopefully not too much!

All correct!
That seemed to flow quite well, so I would like to leave it on this setting if that suits everyone (at least until my next rush of blood to the head...).
Feedback encouraged.
Niki, would you like to have a go or would you prefer me to set another?
