Question

This is killing me, can someone help me?..Write a hangman game that randomly generates a word (declare an array to store words) and prompts the user to guess one letter. Each letter is displayed as an asterisk. When the user guesses correctly, the actual letter is displayed. When the user finishes a word, display the # of misses, then ask
the user if they want to try another word. Allow the user enter input yes/no. The program
should show how many incorrect guesses guessed, as well the # of allowed incorrect guesses
remaining.

Thanks so much:)
