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

[C Smith]

Hey, you will want to include some code to show your progress so far.
Can you write a basic program and then work the requirements into it?
Do you have some idea of where to start? Are you supposed to modify a
completed version of "hangman" that is in your text, or come up with
an original 'hangman' program? Does the hangman game need a graphical
interface, or is just printing words to the screen fine?
