Hi Kobi,
Your program is pretty nice. There are a few nitpicks I have:
- Most hangman games I have seen give 7 to 11 bad guesses. The player is not penalized for correct guesses.
- Yours gives 20 total (bad and good). Unless one of the letters is in the last 6 of the alphabet (uvwxyz) it is possible to win just by going through the alphabet in order.
- There is only one puzzle available. It would be better to have a list of words and pick randomly from them.
All in all, it's a good first effort.

Hi, nitpicks are also welcomed :))
thank you - you're absolutely right, I didn't think of good guesses vs. bad guesses.
the program was mainly to evaluate and see how euphoria feels. I was reading and reading, but had to start coding something, too.
Thank you. perhaps a followup will ensue
