Assignment 2 Question 4.py

"""
The goal of this game is for the user (player) to guess the 5 character word in a limited 
number of chances.

Pick up at least 50 5 character words (e.g. from https://7esl.com/5-letter-words/ ) 
and save them in a list or any other structure (you can assign them in a statement, 
i.e. hard code them). Select a word at random from this list - for this, 
generate a random number between 0 and length of the list of words using the random number 
generator randint() provided in python (Pls look it up - it is quite easy) - 
this is the index in the list for the word the user has to guess.

Now prompt the user to input a five character string as his/her guess. 
After the guess, the program should show the user the chars from the guess string which are in 
correct places, and correct chars in wrong places, by outputting:
 --a-d (if a and d were in the input string and are in these two places in the word), 
other characters present: b  (if b is present in the word)

Let the user repeatedly give guesses, till either the guess is correct, or the number of tries is 6.

Bonus: Accept from the user only valid words as guesses. 
For this, use an available online dictionary API to check if the given string is a word or not. 
And if not, prompt the user and do not count this attempt.
