Guess the Word-Word Guessing Game

Example

Player guesses 'A' when the hidden word is 'apple', which results in a correct guess, adding one point to their score.

Scenario

A user is trying to deduce a five-letter word and starts by guessing common vowels like 'a' and 'e' to gain a foothold in identifying the word.

Example

A player, feeling confident or running low on points, decides to guess the whole word 'apple' after revealing 'a_pp_e' through individual letters. They spend 3 points to make this guess.

Scenario

In a scenario where the player either wants to end the game quickly or take a risk to win big, they choose to guess the entire word, thereby risking 3 points to potentially conclude the gameplay.

Example

Each letter correctly guessed adds a point to the player's total, while each incorrect letter guess deducts a point. Guessing the entire word costs the player 3 points regardless of the outcome.

Scenario

This system encourages strategic thinking about whether to guess individual letters based on their frequency and relevance or to take a bigger risk by guessing the whole word, particularly when the revealed letters suggest a clear answer.
