7,114 Pointssorry to bother you guys I was just so frustrated I couldn't find it. instead of if (mHits.indexOf(letter) >= 0) { display = letter; } I wrote if (mHits.indexOf(letter)) >= 0 { display = letter; } The mistake was I put ) before >=
Thanks Craig
Maybe all beginners might be frustrated so if they are reading this I quote "never be frustrated I'm sure you'll find the mistake"
