It would be great if editable text boxes were added to the Hangman game. I think that if a person knows the word, they should be able to just type it in instead of clicking on the link for each letter.
Anyone else for this?

Hmm, maybe.
It would speed the game along. I guess the only drawback might be that it could be confusing to some users.

As I understand it, you would have one editable textbox in which you would fill in the word? Maybe a little more detail would help, but it does seem like a good idea.

Yes, one editable text box for one word. Maybe it should be placed below all the links for the letters.

Hmmm, sounds like a good idea. The thing about it is that the admins won't listen to our suggestions, so it seems.

how about an edit box for the letters, and the word. scrap the links

i'd have it as follows:

users currently playing

this word has, let's say, 10 letters

then my first box that would say something like, just letter or guess 1. type the letter and press guess letter next to the box

under neath, i'd have the second box, that would say something like, guess word. you do the same thing, type the word, and tab round to guess word.

we could also have extra points for people that manage to guess the word with out guessing at the letters all the time

Now you are getting complicated, no thanks.

Wow, it really doesn't sound that complicated. Daniel has a really good idea. It sounds even better than mine.

well, i suppose we'll have to see what the admins and cls think. :). it would really like the game easier if this can be installed

one box if you want to guess a letter at a time or another box if you want to guess the hole word at once. Sounds awesome!

Yeah that sounds manageable, and helpful. I don't play the game but it does sound like something that would make things easier.
