Hangman Game in Python?

Hangman is a classic word game in which participants needs to guess as many secret words as you can before time runs out! So, it’s a nice game to learn new words, one letter at a time!

So we are going to write python script for this classic game “hangman”.

#importing the time module
import time

#welcoming the user
name = input("What is your name? ")

print("Hello, " + name, "Time to play hangman!")

print ("")

#wait for 1 second
time.sleep(1)

print ("Start guessing...")
time.sleep(0.5)

#here we set the secret
word= ("Secret")
word = word.lower()

#creates an variable with an empty value
guesses = ''

#determine the number of turns
turns = 12

# Create a while loop

#check if the turns are more than zero
while turns > 0:

   # make a counter that starts with zero
   failed = 0

   # for every character in secret_word
   for char in word:

   # see if the character is in the players guess
   if char in guesses:

      # print then out the character
      print (char, )

   else:

      # if not found, print a dash
      print ("_",)

      # and increase the failed counter with one
      failed += 1

# if failed is equal to zero

# print You Won
if failed == 0:
   print ("You won" )

# exit the script
   break

print
# ask the user go guess a character
guess = input("guess a character:")

# set the players guess to guesses
guesses += guess

# if the guess is not found in the secret word
if guess not in word:

# turns counter decreases with 1 (now 9)
turns -= 1

# print wrong
print ("Wrong")

# how many turns are left
print("You have", + turns, 'more guesses' )

# if the turns are equal to zero
   if turns == 0:

   # print "You Loose"
   print ("You Loose")
