Crash Course for September

# Gets for input, puts for output

# data to track:
#   letters guessed, strings
#   turn count, number
#   answer, string

# actions in hangman:
#   inform user of word length
#   take turns until the game ends
#     user guesses a letter
#     lose a turn for a wrong guess
#   tell the user the word, and maybe if they won

# how does the game end?
#   lose by running out of guesses
#   win by solving the word
