Gallows

Gallows is a console-based implementation of the traditional word guessing game Hangman. Developed in Python, the project challenges players to guess a secret word one letter at a time, with a limited number of incorrect guesses.

🎯 Key Features

• Extensive Word Bank: Over 1000 common English words for high replay value.
• Progressive Gallows Display: Incremental visual feedback for incorrect guesses.
• Input Validation: Gracefully handles invalid inputs (eg. numbers, multiple letters).
