Yes 
but your score is -30 
1 space = 10pts, minus 20 for the 2 wrong answers and 20 for the vowel 
so now don't know how the scoring goes

Scoring
I don't like negative scores.
Here are two alternatives:-
1) Count any negative score as zero.
2) Completely revise scoring system and start with a high number of points each game taking off points for wrong guesses. There is no relation between scores for different games anyway as the length of the phrase and number of different letters all affect the final score.
Toy Box is a mathematician... let's ask him. What do you think Toy Box? Scheme 1 or scheme 2 or is there a better way?

Maybe a score of O would be easiest... Or some sort of basing on the number of letters there are originally...
