[Tutor] Stephen Mik-Novice Python Programmer(Version 3.4.0)Can't get help using Dictionaries, Lists to 'Hangman Game Problem"

[Stephen Mik]

Dear Python World:
    I am almost brand new to Python 3.4.0 and am taking a beginning Python Programming class at the nearby Community College. One major problem I have is time management with beginning pseudo code and coding for my Class Assignments. The instructor prefers Office Hour help,and does not respond to email.
    One of my Class Assignments due on May 9,2014 deals with making a version of the "Hangman Game" which I'm sure somebody out there is familiar with. The program problem says to use 1.Dictionaries 2. Lists 3.Embedded While lists 4.for loops and more. I can refer to the Textbook for the class to get a basic idea of what some of the code will look like,but I cannot fathom how to use a Dictionary or List  in order to enhance the Basic Hangman Game Problem in the text  (written by Michael Dawson). The Text does cover "Dictionaries","Lists","While Loops","For Loops" but doesn't "amplify" and show with examples how some of these Data Structures can be used. And my instructor's Assignment directions are very terse and "you do it by yourself". 

    If I can't get some ideas and hints from the Python Community by Monday,May 5,2014, I will have to hold off this difficult  programming assignment until Tuesday,May 6,2014 when the instructor will be available to help. That leaves me just 3 days to pseudocode,code in Python,fix syntax and run-time and Logical errors before I can turn it in by Friday,May 16,2014. The instructor will only probably give me a suggestion and not some tangible ideas.Any thoughts out there about how to implement the Loops and Data Structures into a "Hangman Game" programming problem?
SINCERELY,Stephen W. Mik
