I think I'm misunderstanding something. If a selected word has 0 likenesses none of the letters appear in the password?

Please can anyone see a correct password in the attached image.

Please explain

BTW how do I edit my signature here?

If the Likeness is "0", it means that there are no words that have any of those letters in exactly the same location in the word. If you got the word "LIKE" and it said there was 1 match, then that would mean that another word either has the L, I, K, or E in the same location.

I hope that helps.

There are multiple possible answers there. You are correct that 0 means none of the letters in the word you picked match the password. To change your signature go to the upper left drop-down arrow and select My Profile, then look to the upper right for a button that says Edit my Profile. Your signature will then be one of the options along the left column.

Also, terminal hacking is made much easier (at least for me) by use of the <>, (), [], and {} symbols. If they are facing together like-so, on the same line without a word in-between then you can select the left one to either reset your guesses to max (4 or 5 with bobble-head) or remove a dud password. You can easily just guess 3 times and if you don't get it then go through all the matching brackets you can find to reset your guesses and remove duds. I used to do that, now I just hunt down all the brackets first and then figure it out from there. (sometimes you won't find one that resets your guesses, so bringing it down to one can be risky)

I was under illusion I was doing it right all along, but had same results as OP.

Thanks, BlitzGirl89 ! that makes more sense..

You do know that you can eliminate possible choices and get 'picks' back by highlighting special character brackets () [] {} <> and then hitting enter.

in your screen shot 0x2298 has one <>

0x2204 has another <\}^>

Just to mention 2

those bracket sequences are kool. seems like you only get 1 or 2 on master hacks. 6 letter words..

Thanks guys I was getting lucky guesses before.

I found my signature - it really wasn't there yesterday - honest
