Let's actually see about that, shall we?

10. Add code to the btnNew_Click event procedure to:
•Display "??????? ?????" in lblWord.
HINT: Use the Text property.
•Set the value of the btnGuessL Enabled property to True, for example, btnGuessL.Enabled = True.
•Set the value of the Enabled property for btnGuessW and btnSolve to True.
Hmm, don't see anything about selecting from a list there...

The answer at this stage is hard-coded to be "BASSETT HOUND", as you can see from step 11. Someone else on these forums has been following these steps. Seeing these instructions makes certain things very clear.

This is probably the worst way to go about writing a Hangman program that I can think of.
