So I need to create a compound word game, and I dont quite understa.pdf
- 1. So I need to create a compound word game, and I don't quite understand how I can split up the compound words that are selected by the user on a frame into individual buttons where each button represents each letter, and the user can select which one starts the second word in a compound word otherwise gives a prompt indicating their wrong and should try again without having to make a class for each compound word I have. Below I have provided the array of words, and the word class needed after that will be the startLetter class, where the compound word is supposed to split into individual buttons. My whole goal is to fit it into one startLetter class without needing a class for each of the compound words, so in this case, five different classes I feel aren't necessary.
