Solution

Created Slangman (r/slangman), a modern spin on the classic game, 'Hangman'. The user has to guess the slang word or phrase before the digital 'slangman' is hung. Slangman is programmed to base the number of guesses on the length as the given the word. Slangman will render new body parts with each incorrect guess. When the user runs out of guesses, they lose. If the user guesses the word before killing Slangman, they win. Users also have the option to "give up" and request a new word.
