help with hangman game!!

I posted a thread yesterday which unfortunately wasn't sufficient as one programmer suggested.
My problem at the moment is i can read throgh all the files ie txt
and images, but the problem is coming when i run the programme and

deliberately enter wrong input.
E.g the guessed word maybe Monday, if i deliberately enter a wrong
entry e.g Z, it's calling the relevant image file i.e image1 and if i
then enter N which is part of the secrect word it displays but if i
again enter another wrong entry, my image 2 is not showing.
i know the problem might be on the guessing loop but I am finding it rather hard to tro

troubleshoot.

The scope of found is incorrect.

Remove it from the top of the class and add it inside the Form1_KeyPress event as Dim found as string = "0" .
This way, each time it enters the Form1_KeyPress event it starts with 0.

You should check into how scope works and define better types for your variables.
Instead of found being a string, make it a boolean with true/false, for example.

Have fun creating your game.

To trouble shoot you have very powerful tools inside Visual Studio.

You should check into adding break points, and using the immediate window to query variable values when the project is in pause mode.

You also have the debug tool bar in the Visual Studio designer, that let's you go line by line of code (key F11).

You should also check the Watch, Quick Watch and Local windows on Visual Studio, they give great information and it's very simple to use them.
