I have a question, it seems that the - sometimes break a word up so that one word is now on 2 lines making it look like 2 words. I can't tell when it is going to do that because when I notice it and then go and look at the post to edit it, different words may be broken up by the -. Should I have used _ instead of -?
ETA: I guess not, because when I tried it, then the _ would run together and you can't tell how many letters are missing in a word. Since I'm relatively new to the puzzle posts, I just noticed this happening. Perhaps the other players are aware of this as a possibility.

Don't worry. It worried all of us at first, you just get used to it. As the letters fill in it happens less and less/ self-corrects.

[Randi]

No, don't worry about it, it WILL get to look normal as the letters fill in.

Can I have an O, please?

[Moesha]

Thanks for the replies, and I'll add 28 O's to the puzzle at the request of Randi:
