Help with Boggle Game?

-----------------------------------

I need help with my game. Basically when a user enters a word and the program checks if that word can be found, my program is not able to do so.

        for e : 1 .. (lengthword - 1)
            for f : 0 .. 4
                for g : 0 .. 4
                    if table (f, g) = guess (e) then
                        row := f
                        col := g
                    elsif table (f, g) = guess (e + 1) then
                        row1 := f
                        col1 := g
                    end if
                end for
            end for
            xcoord := row1 - row
            ycoord := col1 - col

xcoord and ycoord in this case would only be applicable to the last and second last letters of the word if both letters are in the table

Try recording the xcoord and ycoord of each individual letter, then checking a letter relative to the previous one
