The interaction doesn't increment tries for each keypress as this doesn't make sense - you only want tries to increment each time the user submits a word. As users don't submit a word in the first approach, tries won't work as you want. You need to use the second usage.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=508415410-28092007><FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2>In the second usage you can do it: set the phrase to * and then the match happens each time enter is pressed, and your code runs to check the user's answer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
