✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hangman

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here’s the vibe: in hangman, the computer picks a word from the on-line, supplied word list, and you have to try and guess it. 🎯

the computer keeps track of which letters you have chosen, displays them on each pass, and also tracks how many wrong guesses you have made — and that wrong-guess count is graphically displayed via the hangman’s gallows. 😭💀 iconic, honestly.

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • wordlist.txt — make a list of words you’d like to use and put it in the current directory. that’s the whole assignment, bestie. 📝💖
