Python is a powerful multi-purpose programming language used by multiple giant companies. It has simple and easy to use syntax making it perfect language for someone trying to learn computer programming for first time. It is a high-level programming language, and its core design philosophy is all about code readability and a syntax which allows programmers to express concepts in a few lines of code.
In this article, we will use random module to make a word guessing game. This game is for beginners learning to code in python and to give them a little brief about using strings, loops and conditional(If, else) statements.

random module :
Sometimes we want the computer to pick a random number in a given range, pick a random element from a list, pick a random card from a deck, flip a coin, etc. The random module provides access to functions that support these types of operations. One such operation is random.choice() method (returns a random item from a list, tuple, or string.) that we are going to use in order to select one random word from a list of words that we’ve created.

In this game, there is a list of words present, out of which our interpreter will choose 1 random word. The user first has to input their names and then, will be asked to guess any alphabet. If the random word contains that alphabet, it will be shown as the output(with correct placement) else the program will ask you to guess another alphabet. User will be given 12 turns(can be changed accordingly) to guess the complete word.
Below is the Python implementation:

Python3

import random
# library that we use in order to choose 
# on random words from a list of words
 
name = input("What is your name? ")
# Here the user is asked to enter the name first
 
print("Good Luck ! ", name)
 
words = ['rainbow', 'computer', 'science', 'programming', 
         'python', 'mathematics', 'player', 'condition', 
         'reverse', 'water', 'board', 'geeks'] 
 
# Function will choose one random
# word from this list of words
word = random.choice(words)
 
 
print("Guess the characters")
 
guesses = ''
 
# any number of turns can be used here
turns = 12
 
 
while turns > 0:
     
    # counts the number of times a user fails
    failed = 0
     
    # all characters from the input
    # word taking one at a time.
    for char in word: 
         
        # comparing that character with
        # the character in guesses
        if char in guesses: 
            print(char)
             
        else: 
            print("_")
             
            # for every failure 1 will be
            # incremented in failure
            failed += 1
             
 
    if failed == 0:
        # user will win the game if failure is 0
        # and 'You Win' will be given as output
        print("You Win") 
         
        # this print the correct word
        print("The word is: ", word) 
        break
     
    # if user has input the wrong alphabet then
    # it will ask user to enter another alphabet
    guess = input("guess a character:")
     
    # every input character will be stored in guesses 
    guesses += guess 
     
    # check input with the character in word
    if guess not in word:
         
        turns -= 1
         
        # if the character doesn’t match the word
        # then “Wrong” will be given as output 
        print("Wrong")
         
        # this will print the number of
        # turns left for the user
        print("You have", + turns, 'more guesses')
         
         
        if turns == 0:
            print("You Loose")

Output:

What is your name? Gautam
Good Luck!  Gautam
