Counting the letters in a word is easy. Use the LEN() function to test the length of the string the user keyed in. To identify the letters, you will need to move the string into an array. The following code might help you get started. It illustrates how to use the LEN() function and how to put a string into an array using the MID$() function.

CLS
DIM arr(15) AS STRING * 1

' Get word from user ...
INPUT s$

' Print the length of s$ ...
PRINT LEN(s$)

' Move s$ into an array ...
FOR i = 1 TO LEN(s$)
arr(i) = MID$(s$, i, 1)
NEXT i

' Print out the array ...
FOR i = 1 TO 15
PRINT arr(i)
NEXT i

Perhaps this will get you started.
