Frequently Asked Questions

Usually, game logic converts both the secret word and user input to `.toUpperCase()` to ensure 'Apple' matches 'apple'.

Yes. You can store words as objects: `{word: 'APPLE', hint: 'A red fruit'}` and display the hint property when the game starts.

This simple version checks for an exact match. You can easily add a counter variable to limit the user to 3 or 5 tries.
