Post notes on all the things you want the program to do and what the user interface is going to look like.
#1: Maximum length of input
#2: Number of players
#3: Scroing method
#4: Ability to save games/scores (yes/no)
#5: Clue(s)
To give yourself control over keyboard, color and cursor positioning I would recommend curses library, but termio works alright too.
So basically think of the program as you conceptualize it virtually then start making notes as if you were actually playing it. Assuming you want to do the app I've mentioned earlier, I would start with the entry and then center it vertically and horizonally on the screen only using 60% of the screens width.

So as player selects letters they will disappear from display below and if applicable replace '-''s. The scoring method I used was give each letter a wieght value of 1 to 10. 10 being most frequently used letter, usually vowels and 1 to least used like 'X'
If you next post doesn't have any meaningful code then there's not much point going on, because I'm not going to start writing the program for you.
