    I've watched those, and am familiar with the software. I just wanted to know how to be able to use the computer's keyboard with the game.

    You would create a custom keyboard where each actor represents one letter and have a rule that adds its self.Letter (e.g. 'A') to the end of a text attribute (e.g. Change Attribute game.word to game.word..self.Letter. Then you would check a table's contents using a loop to check every row (or column) to see if game.word is contained in the table. Or you can avoid tables and use a text attribute with every single word for that category (e.g. game.Colors would be "BLACK#WHITE#YELLOW#PINK#RED#ORANGE" etc.) and see if game.Colors contains game.word.

    Text case ('A' vs. 'a') becomes very important so I suggest sticking to a single case.
