Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
Current string is: ${player_name} may try again (retries left: ${retries_left})
This message is shown after word rejection in automatic challenge game logs.
However, ${retries_left} actually shows the number of retries left before automagic challenge, causing confusion.
For example, in move 64 'retries left' is 1 even though I failed to submit a word already, in 'Retries: 1' option game.
It should've been 'retries left after this attempt: 0'. -

Report history
I prefer including the yet-to-be-made retry, as this means that the first number shown after an automatic challenge matches the game setting. (So, in a "Retries: 1" game, an automatic challenge rejection shows that you have this one retry available.) But, a wording change could make this clearer. Perhaps something like "(retry 1 of 1)" instead of "(retries left: 1)"?
