Welcome to the Hangman game!

INSTRUCTIONS:
One player thinks of a word.
The other player (guessing player) tries to guess it by suggesting letters. If the player does not guess the word within 6 guesses, they lose.

The word to guess is represented by a row of dashes, representing each letter of the word.

If the guessing player suggests a letter which occurs in the word, all occurences of that letter appear in the correct positions and the number of guessess remains unchanged.
If the suggested letter does not occur in the word, one element of a hanged man stick figure is drawn and the number of guesses is increased by 1.

NOTE: You cannot guess the whole word in a single try. You have to type its letters one by one.
