I have been trying to code a hangman game but couldn’t do it because there seems to be an error with my if requests, because he dosn’t detect a valid Letter in the word although there is .

please tell me if i can give you any more information. looking forward to hearing from yall and i am really interested in the skills i can learn:D

Answer

The problem arises in your removeDupsBetter method. You are trying to remove an element from L2 which is not present in L2. Maybe you actually meant to do this:

  def removeDupsBetter(L1, L2):
        L1Start = L1[:]
        for e in L1:
            // Checking if element is present in L2 before removing it.
            if e in L2:
                L2.remove(e)
        return ''.join(str(e) for e in L2)
