thank you!

well obviously you're given the equation, and you have to fill in the letter???

I draw attention to the fact that what's obvious to you isn't obvious to folks who haven't been thinking about this game and it's mechanics for as long as you have. That's why writing good instructions [for anything] is so important: you're in the best position to know what's expected by the game. What makes that process tricky is that it can be very hard to remember what it's like to be a new user and write for them but with the benefit of your expertise

i understand that, but i'm confused by what you mean by "both boxes are white"? the boxes in the instructions are filled, and when you click play, i'm pretty sure that you only see equations --- and given that it's about guessing a word, i'm not sure how much clearer i can make it. i'd love to hear what you suggest tho!

thanks for the advice. it'll let you know when you're one away, but otherwise, we thought that knowing that its an english word will help as well!
