Rules of Play

Goal: Reveal the secret word by guessing letters. Displays each turn: The word with underscores for unknown letters (e.g., _pp_e), Letters you’ve already guessed (e.g., a, e, p), Your current count of wrong guesses (e.g., 2/6) Valid input: a single alphabetic letter (a–z); Input is case-insensitive. No repeats: a letter already guessed is invalid. Any non-letter or multi-character input is invalid. For an invalid input, the game prints “Invalid input” and reprompts. Turn outcome: If the letter is in the secret word, all matching underscores are revealed. If the letter is not in the word, your wrong-guess count increases by 1. Win condition: all letters revealed before reaching 6 wrong guesses → You win (score = 1). Lose condition: you reach 6 wrong guesses with unrevealed letters → You lose (score = 0). Play again: after each game, enter y to start a new game or n to end the session.
