I am making a hangman project and I wanted to know how to make the game stop once you finish all your tries?
<p>This is my code that i have written so far. The problem is that when it asks for how many tries and I put 3 it only lets me try 3 times no matter what, even if I guess wrong or right. The tries represent how many times you get the guess wrong. So I if didn't get the word in 3 tries then it would stop the game. That's my problem.</p>
