I just updated my response with some additional info... but I think it crossed with your reply, so I'm re-replying to be sure you see it!  ---------------------------------------------------- Ah ok. Now I understand the confusion. We're working in the game with literal lexicographic alphabetizing. In "The Godfather", "T" is the literal correct letter to use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetical_order The and other common words If a phrase begins with a very common word (such as "the", "a" or "an", called articles in grammar), that word is sometimes ignored or moved to the end of the phrase, but this is not always the case. For example, the book "The Shining" might be treated as "Shining", or "Shining, The" and therefore before the book title "Summer of Sam". However, it may also be treated as simply "The Shining" and after "Summer of Sam". Similarly, "A Wrinkle in Time" might be treated as "Wrinkle in Time", "Wrinkle in Time, A", or "A Wrinkle in Time". All three alphabetization methods are fairly easy to create by algorithm, but many programs rely on simple lexicographic ordering instead. While yes, in a library, or perhaps DVD shelf you MIGHT find "The Godfather" under "G", you also might find it under "T".  So officially and for simplicity, please consider our little game to be using the lexicographic alphabetical order. That is to say that if it literally starts with a "T", it's literally going to need to be placed based on that "T"... regardless of what the word following it is. I looked at adding some text like this to the game, but it seems overly convoluted and a lot of extra reading... So I'm going to just leave it as is and reference back to this post should someone bring it up as a bug again.  Hope this makes sense! ~~SM  ![Merit Badge in 2020
