line 27 throws an exception, checking list(word) is empty fixes the problem

random.choice([]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/random.py", line 248, in choice return seq[int(self.random() * len(seq))] # raises IndexError if seq is empty IndexError: list index out of range

The comment appears really clumsy. My first comment in Active State, Sorry for that. This is more clear http://pastie.org/710896

This is what I got when I try to run this code:

> Rules

This is how the game works... The game will give you a scrambled word. Then you 'guess' the original.

A couple of notes.


1: all words are never plural. 2: c() gives you the first letter. 3: s() surrenders. This also gives you the answer.

Sorry, no more words left!
