I actually prefer having to use the Shift to type in a blank letter. I did notice that the letter used was in your rack, Quackle must not have registered that you had already "placed" it on the board. Even if Quackle worked the way you wanted it to, you would still need to have some way to indicate to use the blank for the first occurrence of a letter and the actual letter for the second. Requiring you to use Shift alleviates that problem. Drew Allen Philadelphia, PA
