Description

WORD is similar to Hangman in that the player must guess
a word with clues as to lette~ position furnished by the
computer. However, instead of guessing one letter at a time,
in WORD, you guess an entire word (or group of 5 letters,
such as ABCDE). The computer will tell you if any letters
in your word are in the mystery word and if any of them are
in the correct position. Armed with these clues, you go on
guessing until you get the word or, if you can't get it,
input a "?" and the computer will tell you the mystery word.
You may change the words in Data Statements 512 and 513, but
they must be 5-1etter words.
