import random
# make a list of words
words = [
'apples'
'banana'
'orange'
'coconut'
'strawberry'
'lime'
'grapefruit'
'lemon'
'kumquat'
'blueberry'
'melon'
]
while True:
start = input("Press enter/return to start, or enter Q to quit")
if start.lower() == 'q':
break
# pick a random word
secret_word = random.choice(words)
bad_guesses = []
good_guesses = []
while len(bad_guesses) < 7 and len(good_guesses) != len(list(secret_word)):
# draw spaces
# draw guessed letters and strikes
for letter in secret_word:
if letter in good_guesses:
print(letter, end='')
else:
print('_', end='')
print('')
print('strikes: {}/7'.format(len(bad_guesses)))
print('')
# take guess
guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()
if len(guess) != 1:
print("You can only guess a single letter!")
continue
elif guess in bad_guesses or guess in good_guesses:
print("You've already guessed that letter!")
continue
elif not guess.isalpha():
print("You can only guess letters!")
continue
if guess in secret_word:
good_guesses.append(guess)
if len(good_guesses) == len(list(secret_word)):
print("You win: The word was {}".format(secret_word))
break
else:
bad_guesses.append(guess)
else:
print("You didn't guess it! My secret word was {}".format(secret_word))
