Indicate the words of the sentence and the letters already proposed by the player(s).
As for the wheel of fortune or hangman, dCode will find the possible words as answer, by rejecting those containing letters already proposed by the players.

All proper nouns are not necessarily in the dictionary. Generally proper nouns and non-english words will not be found (unless it is also a common name), so avoid these categories in the game and choose the categories that have more chance of not containing proper nouns.
