G-Word
Description
G-Word is a game that combines elements of Hangman and Mastermind. The player has to guess a word that the computer has chosen. Each turn the player has to enter five distinct letters. The computer will say how many of those letters are present in the chosen word, but not which letters. The player has 20 guesses to find the hidden word.
To aid the player there is an alphabet shown on the screen. The player can hide and show letters of the alphabet to help him or her remember which letters were already eliminated from play.
