Hangman Game in Python

#python #beginners

Hangman game is just a word guessing game by guessing the character of the word. In this game, there is a list of words present, out of which our interpreter will choose 1 random word.

The user first has to input their names and then, will be asked to guess any alphabet. If the random word contains that alphabet, it will be shown as the output(with correct placement) else the program will ask you to guess another alphabet. Users will be given 12 turns(can be changed accordingly) to guess the complete word.

# library that we use in order to choose
# on random words from a list of words
import random

# Here the user is asked to enter the name first
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("All the best", name)
