A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here Course In A Box and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: How do you...? .

The problem is hint button. It is not like hangman. There will be a hint button which user can use to take a letter for asked word. User will press the hint button and user will get a random letter at textbox. But I cant make that happen. I need your help people. Thank you

To add this capability, you need to keep two lists:

  • A list of all the letters in the original phrase
  • The list of letters that have already been chosen

You will also need some list value procedures:

MINUS
MINUS526×268 21.5 KB
test_MINUS
test_MINUS774×172 17.8 KB
UNIQUE
UNIQUE691×238 21.4 KB

You will also need to know the trick to get a list of letters from a word or phrase: split it at the empty text value and remove the empty iitem 1 from the resulting list.

By combining calls to these procedures, you should be able to derive a list of all the letters that are in the original word but that have not yet been chosen.
There is a list block to grab a random item from a list.
