I need "miss" for use in the game Battleship.

Question

My students are going to play Battleship to practice their numbers and letters. What is the correct word for "miss" when the opponent has guessed an empty cell in the grid?

Answer 1

I agree with Zenejero above -- use the verb "fallar".

---

Battleship Example: (He scored three hits and two misses.)

• "Tuvo tres lanzanientos acertados y dos fallos."

another way would be

• "Acertó tres tiros y falló dos."

Where the verb "acertar" = hit the target.

Answer 2

also errar, fallar or perder

Answer 3

the answer to this question is "perder" miss= perder (to miss) hit= golpear (to hit)
