I have made a game (I like to code when in my spare time) where words are taken at random from a list and displayed on a label. If they type it correctly, their wordcount goes up by 1 and the word is removed from the list. If they get it wrong, the word remains. If they enter nothing in an attempt to skip the long words, they get a skip. After their wordcount has reached 12 and their time is less than 60 seconds, they get the new high score.

I wanted to share my code with you guys to find out if there is anything that can be improved in terms of code shortening or even bugs that I could've missed out when writing the program. Also, I made this in Python 3 and used the try and except to try and help it work in Python 2. I do not have Python 2 so could you please also try and see if it works on there.
