Thread: Method in hangman game not working

Hi all,

I'm currently developing a hangman game for my assignment however one of my method does not give me the result i wanted.

Expected output with disguised word as HTML (case-insensitive)

The disguised word is ****
Guess a character:
h
Incorrect. No. of guesses made is 1 with 1 wrong
 
The disguised word is h***
Guess a character:
m
Incorrect. No. of guesses made is 2 with 2 wrong
 
The disguised word is h*m*
Guess a character:
k
Incorrect. No. of guesses made is 3 with 3 wrong
 
The disguised word is h*m*
Guess a character:
t
Correct. No. of guesses made is 4 with 4 wrong
Good job, you found the secret word which is html

As seen in the output above input "h" & "m" should return Correct instead of incorrect.
