My guess is that there might be ways to get punished for bad plays, like pressing more than one grid button to find a sound before pressing the Henry button for the next sound, but I don't think it scores you on how many guesses it takes for you to complete a straight line of lit buttons. This is where you really need the instructions to understand it.
As I said in a previous message, I got the instructions for the game.com cartridge version. I'm hoping the two games were similar enough that I can edit these instructions into a set of instructions for the hand held version.
