Hangman Python

This document contains the code for a hangman game. It includes functions to display the hangman board graphic based on missed letters, get a random word from a list, get letter guesses from the player, and check if the player has won or lost. The main game loop runs until the player guesses the word correctly or runs out of attempts, at which point it asks if they want to play again.
