- Brilliant. Are the choices randomly shown each time?
- Thanks David - it's a 'carousel' of 5 slides. They'll always appear in the same sequence, but you will join the sequence at a different slide each time. Once you hit 5 slides, it resets.
- No surprise to learn I'm more Felix Leiter than 007.
- Very cool! Looks like it took a while!
- Very cute. The "z" and "s" always give it away.
- This made me laugh at my American-ness. Very creative!
- This is great Jonathan, I love the humorous feedback.
- ok that's fun!
- very clever! I was tempted to answer as a Britain would, but the English teacher in me would not allow it.
- That's it, I've run out of things to say about your work, soo good Jon, but where are the Aussies ;)
- Ha! Thanks Veronica. If you answer the 'dialogue' question the 'British' way, you'll see Zardoz arrogantly scoop you up with the Commonwealth.
Those Brits, eh? What are they like!
- Nice one! What happens if you have no clue about the word, are you stuck in a loop or does it give you feedback after a certain numbers of try?
- Hi Alex - try putting the wrong word in, leave the text entry blank or spell it incorrectly and you'll get a hint.
