Let the user hit the "cancel" button to quit the game, perhaps with the option of starting again from where they left off. In any case, if they hit cancel, don't pop up the box again - otherwise there's no way to leave the page except to win the game.

Also, you could make it look nicer and cleaner with CSS.

In the future, please upload and give us a link. Copying HTML code is a nuisance, especially when UBB changes all double bars (

Not sure if you can influence 'where' the JS prompt box appears, but on my screen its bang on top of your title and columns - so I keep moving to read how I did last time..

Perhaps its possible to take input another way?

Very cool though - if it wasn't sunday morning I'd try to complete a game!

It would be great if there were another way to accept input. Does anyone have any ideas. I think it would address a lot of issues.

Slime, the letter 'q' lets you quit at any time, but cancel would be better. How would one do that? What would a better taxonomy be for 'matches' and 'correct'? I agree that they are slightly ambiguous, but I have been unable to come up with anything better.

I was unaware of the html issues. Thank you.
