Which one of the following is the best explanation of why clever hangman may be frustrating to the user *

The program cheats by changing what letters have been guessed, but the user likely isn't tracking letters, so doesn't figure out there's cheating, but is frustrated

No matter how guesses are made, each guess seems like a miss because the computer changes the secret word and the user is oblivious to the switch, but frustrated by missing

The number of letters in the word can change, but adjacent _ _ without spaces look like __ and the user can't see/distinguish and gets frustrated

Which of the following is likely true about the dictionary used to find groups and choose a new secret word when playing Clever Hangman (more than one may be true) *

The values are lists of words, the list with the most words is chosen as the source of the secret word on each play in the game

The keys are strings, patterns like " _ o _ a n" or "_ _ o a n"

The dictionary is created on each turn, from a new guess and the existing pattern and the list of possible secret words

Use of the dictionary can be isolated into one function called from the loop to play the game, minimizing changes to the gameplaying code
