python - Hangman code python3 -

i have python 3 hangman code works not know how can allow user select difficulty (easy (9), medium (7), hard(5)) in main function. there simpler code used this?

import random  wordlist = ("phone", "laptop", "desktop", "sewer", "television", "never", "guess", "nice", "chair", "car"); word = random.choice(wordlist) acceptable = ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")  guessed = [] state = 0 haswon = 0 playedonce = 0  def menu ():     print("""     1. easy (9 misses)     2. medium (7 misses)     3. hard (5 misses)     """)     return int(input("what level want play?:"))  def wantstoplay():     if (not playedonce):         return 1     l = input("\nwould play again? (y/n)")     while (l != "y" , l != "y" , l != "n" , l != "n"):         l = input("\nwould play again?

what need number of misses player can made. i've made menu() return value:

def menu():     print("""     1. easy (9 misses)     2. medium (7 misses)     3. hard (5 misses)     """)     while true:         level = input("what level want play?:")         if level in ('1', '2', '3'):             return {'1': 9, '2': 7, '3': 5}[level]         print('wrong answer!') 

now should somehow put menu , result main program. call menu function after setup_game() , replace contant 7 result.

def main():     global guessed, haswon, state, playedonce, word, wordlist     setup_game()     allowed_misses = menu()     ...         while (hasguessed() == 0 , state < allowed_misses) 

you should remove statecheck hasguessed() since redundant , uses constant value.
