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.
