I made this Scrabble with care since it will be mainly used by family that will not understand the error codes so that is why I catch basically every possible error, to make it user friendly. I have revised this based on an earlier post and hope to improve its efficiency even more now that I have basically redone the code.

I know I have recursion in the main() function and I would like someone to provide an example specific to this scenario for me to use, as I can't figure out a working solution. Also the reason I set __name__ to "end" in the end_game() function is because if I did not, end game would run the if statement at the end of the code and then repeat main() putting the user in an endless loop that can only be escaped by CTRL+C. If anyone has a better way of the interaction between end_game() and main() I would like to hear and improve on it. I am fairly new to Python, and examples do help a lot for this program and future references. Thanks.
