How to Play Hangman

Objective

The goal of Hangman is to guess a hidden word, one letter at a time, before you run out of attempts. Each incorrect guess reduces your remaining chances, so think carefully before each guess!

Steps to Play

Start the Game

When the game begins, a word is chosen at random and represented by underscores (_) for each letter. For example, if the word is "PYTHON," it will display as:

_ _ _ _ _ _

Make a Guess

Enter a letter that you think might be in the word.

If the letter is correct, it will be revealed in its correct positions in the word.

If the letter is incorrect, you lose one attempt.

Repeat Guesses

Keep guessing letters one at a time.

If you repeat a letter you've already guessed, the game will prompt you to try a different letter.

The game will show you the current progress of the word and how many attempts you have left.

Winning the Game

If you guess all the letters correctly before running out of attempts, you win! The game will display a message like:

arduino

Congratulations! You guessed the word: PYTHON

Losing the Game

If you run out of attempts without guessing the word, you lose. The game will reveal the correct word and display a message like:

vbnet

Sorry, you've run out of attempts! The word was: PYTHON

Example Gameplay

Start:

yaml

Word: _ _ _ _ _

Attempts left: 6

First Guess:

Guess: A

If A is in the word, it will appear in the correct positions.

If A is not in the word, your attempts decrease by 1.

Ongoing Game Status:

yaml

Word: _ A _ _ _ 

Attempts left: 5

Final Outcome:

If you guess all letters before attempts run out:

arduino

Congratulations! You guessed the word: APPLE

If you run out of attempts:

vbnet

Sorry, you've run out of attempts! The word was: APPLE

Tips

Start by guessing common vowels (like A, E) and frequently used consonants (like T, N).

Avoid repeating letters to save your attempts.

Use clues from correctly guessed letters to figure out possible words.

Enjoy playing Hangman and try to improve your guessing strategy each time!
