Question

Write a hangman program in c++.The game is played as follows:

1. The program selects a random word for the user to guess (Read words for the user to guess into an array of strings from a file. The words are: revolutionary, meaning, recovery, compartment, trainer, pursuit, harm, platform, error, confusion)

2. User guesses one letter at a time until either they guess the word, or they run out of guesses.

3. Select a random word from the array of strings to the word the user has to guess.

Maintain 2 char arrays:

a. availableLetters: a char array of the available letters the user can choose their guess from. Initialize availableLetters as the lowercase alphabet. As the user guesses letters, replace the corresponding guessed letter with a space to denote the letter has already been guessed.

b. visibleLetters: a char array of the not guessed letters in the word. Initialize visibleLetter to all dashes ("-"). As the user correctly guesses a letter, replace the corresponding dash(es) with the correct letter.

4. The main game loop:

a. Display information regarding the status of the game (visibleLetters, availableLetters, and the number of incorrect guesses remaining (the user gets 7 incorrect guesses)).

b. Prompt the user to enter their guess. If the user tries to guess a letter they have already guessed, inform the user and re-prompt.

c. Exit the loop if the users completely guesses the letters of the word or if the user runs out of incorrect guesses.

Note: relevant string methods you will likely need to use for this program are <string variable>.at(i) to get a character at index position and i and <string variable>.size() (or <string variable>.length() to get the number of characters in the string.

Example output:

The word to guess has 5 letters.

----- 
Available letters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
7 incorrect guesses remaining.
Please enter your guess: 
s
s is not in the word. Too bad. 6 incorrect guesses remaining.

----- 
Available letters: abcdefghijklmnopqr tuvwxyz
6 incorrect guesses remaining.
Please enter your guess: 
e
Nice! e is in the word.

-e---
Available letters: abcd fghijklmnopqr tuvwxyz
6 incorrect guesses remaining.
Please enter your guess: 
r
r is not in the word. Too bad. 5 incorrect guesses remaining.

-e---
Available letters: abcd fghijklmnopq  tuvwxyz
5 incorrect guesses remaining.
Please enter your guess: 
r
r is not an available letter

-e---
Available letters: abcd fghijklmnopq  tuvwxyz
5 incorrect guesses remaining.
Please enter your guess: 
l
Nice! l is in the word.

-ell-
Available letters: abcd fghijk mnopq  tuvwxyz
5 incorrect guesses remaining.
Please enter your guess: 
h
Nice! h is in the word.

hell-
Available letters: abcd fg ijk mnopq  tuvwxyz
5 incorrect guesses remaining.
Please enter your guess: 
o
Nice! o is in the word.
Congrats, you guessed the word hello!

****This requires a lot of effort so please drop a like if you are satisfied with the solution****

I have satisfied all the requirements of the question and I'm providing the screenshots of code and output for your reference...

Sample run 1:

****In the above output the number 2 is just for showing you that the program has picked up the 2nd word from the input file..its just for your understanding so the 2nd word in input file is " meaning " so we are going to test the code for this word now... you can take this out by erasing the line number 46 in the code....
