[Hangman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_%28game%29) is a words

guessing game for one player. The computer guesses a word and the user

has to suggest letters one by one. Every time the word contains a letter,

the computer opens it (all of them, if there are a few). Every time the

word doesn't contain a letter, the computer gives a penalty point for

the user. If there are five penalty points, the user looses. If there

are no hidden letters anymore, the computer looses.

First, build it:

```

$ mvn clean package

```

Then, run:

```

$ java -classpath target/classes hangman.Main

```

This Java code is very procedural, imperative, and not elegant at all.

Read about [Elegant Objects](https://www.elegantobjects.org) 

and then try to refactor this code and improve. You're welcome to create new classes,

new methods, anything. Just make sure it still builds.
