Hi Nicol, That is a big problem for the game developer, figuring how many ways to answer a question and how many ways it can be miss-spelled. I once looked at a name that tune game for DOS and it had at least 20 ways to spell each song title. It also had a button to accept a wrong answer as correct if your correct answer did not match any of the 20 variations. In other words it would take 5 times longer to develop a game like that rather than a multiple choice where you pick the correct answer from a list of 4. Phil
