There's a bug in my simple Hangman script!
Ok, I have a hangman game due for school a week from today, and it's ALMOST done, except there's a bug.
The player is asked how long of a word he wants, then the game is set up according to the length of the word. Once it's set up, you start guessing letters. However, the system for the game to recognize correct/incorrect letters is buggy. SINCE THE PROJECT IS INCOMPLETE, I AM NOT SHARING IT IN THE PROJECTS SECTION. Instead, I have it on this file sharing site. You have to make an account to download it, but once you download it, you'll probably take 30 seconds to see the bug! Please! I really need help!
https://www.4shared.com/file/b9EiEqiv/HangmanTest.html?
The script that's causing the probably is the long column to the right. Could you please see what's wrong with it, and, if you want, correct it or tell me how to correct it? I WILL BE FOREVER HAPPY IF YOU CAN! (Once you actually test out the script you'll see the bug).
I know it's a pain to download/make an account, but you would make me SO happy! Thanks!

Guys, take it easy. 
@aaminor: It's a little troublesome for Scratchers to download files from somewhere else, especially if Scratchers need to create an account just to get the download. Some Scratchers may also be restricted from visiting the file sharing site on their computers, and 4shared.com has been known to be unsafe to visit at times.
You can always opt to share the project on the Scratch website and then delete it later, which would probably make it easier for others to take a look at the project and is a safer way for everyone to take a look at your scripts and help you out.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Boy that escalated quickly.
First off, there's no reason to reply to something you can't do. Just don't say anything.
Seconldly, let's not overreact, Scratch isn't the kind of website you can fight on. Go somewhere else if you want to have a silly argument. 
But yes, as cheddargirl said, the best thing to do is post the project and have people use that download link.
"I've worked so hard for you and you give me nothing in return. Do you need help... Or do I?"
