Iamon a convertedfreeformlayertocompose awordwithmanylettersbydrag and drop...this word is"NEUTROPHILE" with 2"E".One isthesecondletterand thesecond... thelast oneWhen ipicklettersto composemyword,iMUSTpickthetwo "E"in thesameorderorwhen I'mvalidatinghetellsme"badresponse"...What can ido?Can we use the same letter many time? Thanxsfor help
Instead of allowing the "freeform drag and drop" to determine which items are correct, you'll want to set this up with a series of triggers and conditions to track when they're dropped correctly (and the two e's will need an OR condition to be counted correct).
There is an example here, and another one here to help you get started with setting this up in your own file. Hope that helps!
Another way to do this is to set the initial state of the second 'e' to Hidden and add a trigger Change State of Shape '2nd E' to Normal when Object '1st E' is dropped on its target
I've done this here with the word 'Book' and although it's very obvious in this case it would be less so when the letters are mixed up as on your slide.
Variables and conditions certainly take a little getting used to, but they're worth it for all the possibilities it opens up. Helen's example is using states as she mentioned which may be a bit easier to get started with. You may also want to review the Storyline tutorials here on working with variables or working with states.
Did you try Helen's solution as well? If you're able to share that one slide here, myself or another community member may have time to set up the first set of this, and then you could replicate from there.
Sounds great - I didn't see a folder attached here, and wasn't sure if you sent it to me as a private message either (but I don't see one?). It's best if you can post here in the forums so that the community as a whole can take a look.

Thank you Ashley !
The Helen's solution is not good enough… i can't have hidden object. The learner must have all the letters to play…
I send you a .Story folder with all the elements you need to re-compose this anagram… it's just one slide, one word…
I don't know how to say thanks you…long live e-learning heros !!

If i'm not clear enough, ask me
