Hi Eddy,
My English is not very good. I wrote the message using Google Translate. If there is an error, it is the error of the Translation program. I have codes for my project. but I was a bit confused with the code I wrote in order to do the operation I specified in my message. therefore I asked for help with the method. I keep working on it. Thank you for your interest.

' Program: Hangman
' Author: Marvin Hunkin
' Version: 1.1
' Date:  Tuesday December 25, 2012
' Description: Playing a Hangman game.  You enter a letter to use a list of words loaded into memory.  You  then guess a six letter word, and use 13 guesses. At the end of 13 guesses, you get a message saying you either won or loss, and what the word was, and a number to exit the game being 1.  Added a couple of cool sound audio effects.
