+        //
+        //        1. After every guess, you must print out the current state of the game. (e.g. _ _ n _ n _)
+        //        2. You must determine a maximun number of wrong guesses. If the player guesses too many incorrect letters, they lose and the game ends.
+        //        3. If the player looses, provide a message letting them know that they lost.
+        //        4. If they win, provide a message letting them know that they won.
