Here are the main solutions I would see, listed in order of what my own preference would be:
1. Deactivate extra buttons: Ghost out 3, 4, and 5 (good because it preserves the overall interface, and because it preserves the numbering system) 2. Consolidate extra buttons: Convert 2, 3, 4, and 5 into one large button labeled "2" (good because it fills up the interface with the correct, unambiguous, single solution; however, new users could be confused by the changing interface) 3. Deactivate extra buttons and relabel them: Ghost out 3, 4, and 5 AND remove their label text, so that they're just ghosted outlines of buttons (not so good; it's a kind of complex solution, and dead, empty buttons are unattractive; however, it drives home the point that 3, 4, and 5 are truly _not_ separate options from 2 in this situation) 4. Get rid of conflicting labels: Relabel 2, 3, 4, and 5 to all say "2" or "Memorized" or ":)" or something else along those lines (this is a possibility, but it makes no real sense) On Oct 17, 12:15 pm, "Łukasz Różycki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So maybe make two of them (buttons) inactive?
