So, I'm trying to make a hangman game spin-off.  I need the basic engine.  I have a list that has the letters of the word (each entry is one letter), a list that starts out with those letters replaced by _, and a variable that outputs the latter list.  I'll be posting the script later, but I can't ATM.  If you can suggest things now, go ahead.

well you could check out my Hangman 0s1s for inspiration, i am not quite sure it is totally what you are looking for but it is a start

Or, you could look at my hangman game http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/BoltBait/463279

when gf clicked
set [word v] to (item (any v) of [wordbank v])
set [i v] to [1]
repeat (length of (word))
add (letter (i) of (word)) to [current word v]
change [i v] by [1]
end
repeat until <<(wrong letters) = (total chances)> or <(length of [current word v] = (0)>>
if <input recieved>//you need your own system here
if <[current word v] contains (input)>
set [i v] to [1]
repeat (length of (word))
if <(item (i) of [current word v]) = (input)>
delete (i) of [current word v]
else
change [total chances v] by [-1]
end

Obviously the input needs to be put in by a sprite reaction or a question, and this needs a visual output, but it's the coding behind it

Ok.  This does work; however, I have a list that has _ for each letter in each list entry, and it gets replaced by the letter if you guess it.  How should I do that?

replace item (i) of [other list v] with (item (i) of [current word v])

put that in before the delete command

One thing, not sure if it works for multiple letters.  Say the word is "letters", would it delete both e's?\
EDIT:  This doesn't work, shall I upload project?

It ought to get rid of all letters that are the same, since it iterates through. Sure upload it.

Uploading.

Well, initially, the code for checking the letter against the letters of word was outside the repeat loop, put it after you add the letter to "letters used:", secondly, you don't seem to have a way to win, since even if you get all the letters it just asks for more(but I suppose it's still and early build), and finally, "C" as a hangman word?!

Can you upload it as a remix and I'll check the code?
C is a programming language.  xD

Thanks, I'll bump this if I feel necessary.

Um, it doesn't work for some reason.

they ought to, and when I played through it offline it worked fine

I re-uploaded.  Test it out.
It has the same everything.
Darn 60 second rule.

It worked for me, put in a few letters, got a single word, the word was c, pressed c, it finished the word, but had no finish code

Really?  Can't think of anything ATM, but something will come to me.

Bump, the loop won't exit...
