Objective

Write a reverse Hangman game in which the user thinks of a word and the computer tries to guess the letters in that word. The user tells the computer how many letters the word contains.

Your program must output what the computer guessed on each turn, and show the partially completed word. It also must use pseudorandom functions to make guesses. That is, it should not simply try all the letters in order, nor should it use the user’s input to its advantage.

Output

Enter a word for me to guess: Hello world
I guess: X  _____ _____
I guess: N  _____ _____
I guess: L  __LL_ ___L_
I guess: T  __LL_ ___L_
I guess: D  __LL_ ___LD
I guess: H  H_LL_ ___LD
I guess: I  H_LL_ ___LD
I guess: R  HELL_ __RLD
I guess: Z  HELL_ __RLD
I guess: O  HELLO _ORLD
I guess: W  HELLO WORLD
