13,807 PointsGame exits after user guesses a letter; not output. Cant figure out why..someone take a look please?
After two follow through's of this video, my game exits after i choose a letter. I get no feedback other than that, (doesnt draw, etc.) I have noticed that the check for guess validity function properly, I do get "no double letter' and 'must be a letter' statements printing, but beyond that I'm clueless. Someone please advice when able?

56,413 PointsI've tested this code out locally and it works just fine! I'm not entirely sure what's going on at your end but you've done a good job with the code and the issue isn't there.
