Jan 18, 2019 at 17:47	comment	added	chux		@Faraz I found `count_missing_letters(char *word_to_guess, ...)` confusing from the start. Perhaps it is the loose usage of the `word` here. For me a `word` would be a `char `. Here `word` is a list of pointer to a letter. Consider Edward idea of "employ a bool array of the same length to keep track of which letters of the alphabet had been guessed". IMO, the word to guess should be `const` and variables descend from that. Consider a `struct hangman { const char word_to_guess; bool guessed; size_t word_length; size_t guessed_right_count; size_t guess_count }`.
