I'm trying to make a Hangman game

def guessed_word()

word_letters = @word.split("")
blank = @word.gsub(/[a-z]/, '_')

return blank
end

the array for the correct guesses made by the user is @good_guesses and
incorrect is @bad_guesses

So, my game will print out the right number of blanks for however many
letters are in the word...but I don't know how to add the elements from
@good_guesses into the correct spots.

I've tried things like

if @word.include?(@good.guesses)
right = blank.gsub(/[_]/, @good_guesses.split)
end

and things in that nature
i always end up getting an error
i have no idea what to do at this point and i've tried like 1000
combinations and i can't find an explanation anywhere

please help?

Try maintaining the word as an array. Here's a basic sketch:

class Hangman
def initialize(word)
@word = word.split //
@good_guesses = {}
end

def display_word
@word.map {|i| @good_guesses[i] ? i : "_"}.join(" ")
end

def guess(letter)
if @word.include? letter
@good_guesses[letter] = true
end
end
end

I tried what you suggested and it will give either a can't covert string
to integer error. and idk why. or it'll add correct guesses to incorrect
guesses...??

Paste your complete code in and I'll take a look.
