Hang man game - keeping track of already chosen letters

Question

hello all,
I'm making a hang man game and having trouble with the solution to keep track of letters already chosen.
I have a string array where I store all the words.
Example:
String[] WordList = {"Snow White", "Johnny Carson", "John Coltrane" };
In my method to initialize a new game. I divide multi-word Strings and place them into a Vector - where each String Object becomes an element of another vector.
Example : - this is the end result - the algorithm to produce this is different. But this is the end result of randomly choosing the word snow white. This is how i'm storing the info.
Vector selections = new Vector(2);
selections.add(new String("Snow"));
selections.add(new String("White"));
Vector currentPuzzle = new Vector(selections);
This allows me to position the place holders respect to word groupings.
But i'm a little stuck on how to keep track of which letter was already chosen and should be displayed each time draw is presented ?
any ideas ?

Answer 1

hi!
if i understand what you need than my answer is very simple(im almost sure you ment something else):
a simple char array:
char [26] letters;//(0-a , 26-z)
and just mark in each chosen letter by the number 1.
