Word Guessing Game

This is a simple command-line game where the player has to guess a randomly selected word within 10 attempts. The game provides a hint about the word, and the player can guess a letter at a time. If the guessed letter is present in the word, the game reveals its position(s) in the word; otherwise, the game keeps track of the wrong guesses. The game ends if the player guesses the entire word correctly within 10 attempts or runs out of attempts.

How to Play

1. Introduction: Upon starting the game, you'll be greeted with an introduction and a hint about the word to be guessed.
2. Guessing: You have 10 attempts to guess the word correctly. Input a letter to make your guess.
3. Feedback: If your guessed letter is correct, it will reveal its positions in the word. If it's wrong, it'll be added to the wrong guesses list.
4. Win or Lose: The game continues until you correctly guess the word or run out of attempts.
