Hangman Game using Python
Hangman Game using Python
Hangman is a guessing game for two or more players. One player thinks of a word and the other(s) tries to guess it by suggesting letters within a certain number of guesses.
We will be making a similar Hangman Game using Python. We will be using fruits' names for words to guess.
The word to guess will be chosen from the list of words at random using 'random.choice()' method.
Save the below code in a file named 'hangman.py'.
import random

To run the game, enter the below command in a Terminal/Command Line:
