What is this?

The game The Fool and His Money has a puzzle near the beginning where you are given a list of letters that make a sentence. The order that you click on the letters determines where they go in the sentence. I think of this as ‘reverse hangman’, because the letters are already known. Unfortunately, although opinions differ on what exactly reverse hangman is, none of them match the game I’ve just described!

That’s why I called this, a clone of the one found in The Fool and His Money, Abcdebc. (It’s the pattern of the letters in the word hangman.) The source is available on GitHub at smcgivern/abcdebc.
