Hangman is a word game in which the computer will randomly select a word from the dictionary and the player has to guess it correctly in a given number of turns. The word to be guessed is represented by the row of stars. If the guessed letter is present in a word, the script will automatically be placed in the correct places.
Rules to guess the word:
- Input single letter in one turn.
- Don’t use repeated letters.
- Turns will be decremented after every guess.
This is the text file used inside the code words.txt, which contains 50,000 English words.
