######## Program to guess a word from the file ##########
### Program by - Anubhav Singh #######

#library to randomly generate random numbers
import random

#input of file name
file = input("Enter the filename: ")

#opening file
f=open(file, "r")

#reading file data
contents =f.read()

#getting words
words = contents.split()

#closing the file
f.close()

#input of maximum attempts
tries = int(input("Enter the number of maximum tries for each words: "))

quit = "n"

#iterate unless, user quit
while quit == "n":
  
#getting random number in the range of total number of words in the file
i = random.randrange(0, len(words), 1)
word = words[i]
print("Word is choosen randomly ")
  
#iterating each character of word
for i in range(len(word)):
  
#input of guessed character
ch = input("Enter the "+str(i+1)+"th character: ")
  
#iterating for character input, unless user enters correct character or till maximum attempts
j = 0
while(ch!=str(word[i]) and j<tries):
ch = input("Incorrect character, try again: ")
j = j+1
  
if ch==str(word[i]):
print("You guessed it right.")
else:
print("It was ",ch)
print("Now, Guess the next character: ")
  
quit=input("Do you want to quit(y/n)")
