Error: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

Good evening,

An error message (assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast) appears when I run this code: 

void proposeLetter(char letter, char* word, char* hiddenWord, int* attempts) { for (int i = 0; i < strlen(word); i++) { if (word[i] == letter) { hiddenWord[i] = letter; } else { attempts = i + 1; } } }


What is the problem?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT : Added code tags (syntax highlighting).
Explanations available here: HERE

Thank you for keeping this in mind in your future messages.

tries = i + 1;


tries is of type int*
i is of type int
that can't work, what do you want to do there?

I mainly work in VB6 and VB.NET, with a bit of C#, but moderation often brings me to other languages.
In VB.NET make sure to enable "Option Explicit" and "Option Strict"

he probably wants to increase the number of trials, and for that he needs to dereference the pointer by doing 
*trials
to access the pointed content ... however, I don't see why he adds i + 1 (but that's another story).
