Beginner Python: Word Scramble Game + Code

Here’s a basic Word Scramble game in Python:

import random

def get_random_word():
    words = ['python', 'java', 'swift', 'javascript', 'hangman']
    return random.choice(words)

def scramble_word(word):
    word_letters = list(word)
    random.shuffle(word_letters)
    return ''.join(word_letters)

def play_game():
    word = get_random_word()
    scrambled = scramble_word(word)
    
    print("Welcome to Word Scramble!")
    print(f"Scrambled word: {scrambled}")
    
    attempts = 3
    while attempts > 0:
        guess = input("Guess the word: ").strip().lower()
        if guess == word:
            print("Congratulations! You guessed it right.")
            return
        else:
            attempts -= 1
            print(f"Wrong guess! Attempts left: {attempts}")
    
    print(f"Out of attempts! The correct word was '{word}'.")

How it Works

1. A random word is chosen from a list and scrambled.
2. The player has 3 attempts to guess the word.
3. If guessed correctly, they win; otherwise, they lose.

You can expand the game by adding more words, levels, or hints!
