6. El form1, debe tener los siguientes objetos:
Un label por cada
letra, que adivinará

7. La pantalla del form1, finalmente queda de la siguiente forma, y todos los objetos tienen la propiedad VISIBLE=FALSE,
con excepción del botón de ayuda y el frame de Opciones.
Revisen el código que anteriormente les envíe y deduzcan el nombre de las variables.
