Question

Hangman is a game for two or more players. One player thinks of a word, phrase or sentence and the other tries to guess it by suggesting letters or numbers, within a certain number of guesses. You have to implement this game for Single Player, Where Computer (Your Program) will display a word with all characters hidden, which the player needed to be guessed. You have to maintain a dictionary of Words. One word will be selected by your program. It will hide all characters from the word and will ask the player to guess the hidden characters. Player should be allowed a limited attempt to guess the hidden characters. If the player successfully guessed the word or failed to guess, the player should be asked either he wanted to play more? Once user ends the game you must display its win and lose count.
