A fully interactive Command-Line Hangman Game developed in Python. This project demonstrates the use of core Python concepts such as loops, conditional statements, lists, strings, functions, user input validation, and randomization while providing an enjoyable word-guessing experience.
Hangman is a classic word-guessing game where the player attempts to reveal a hidden word by guessing one letter at a time. The player starts with 6 lives, and every incorrect guess reduces one life. The game ends when the player either guesses the complete word or runs out of lives.
This project was built as part of my Python learning journey to strengthen problem-solving skills and programming logic.
