Misses/Guesses game Not working properly

[theresaa41145301]

I used a tutorial on creating a misses/guesses simple game.  But when a letter is typed that's not in the word bank, it doesn't show.  Also, when a letter is incorrect, it doesn't go in the misses section.  What am I missing?

Without showing the code you are using and explaining what it is supposed to do it is next to impossible to say what you might be missing.

You are correct - how can I share the code?

I've made screenshots of the code - thanks for your help1

that whole section of

    else if(guesses_txt.text == "")

    ....

    }

appears to be doing nothing as far as writing any text... if it is empty why try to append its emptiness to itself?

the line

    guesses_txt.appendText(","+guess.text);

should not be inside the else conditional as far as I can tell.  Don't you want it to enter the guess regardless if it is right or wrong?

That's what I was trying to do.  Yes, I want it to enter the guess if right or wrong.

Then move it after the closing parenthesis of that else conditional.  Until you can explain what the else if conditional is supposed to do you oughta get rid of it.  You might eventually realize what you really want it for after it's gone and can repair it to do that.

Thanks I'll try that.
