+🎮 Hangman Game in Python
+🧩 Overview
+Welcome to the classic word-guessing challenge — Hangman! This command-line Python game tests your vocabulary and deduction skills as you try to guess a hidden word before the hangman drawing is completed.
+📦 Features
+- 🎨 ASCII art hangman stages
+- 🔤 Random word selection from a built-in list
+- ✅ Tracks correct and missed guesses
+- 🔁 Replay option after each game
+- 🧠 Input validation for smooth gameplay
+🛠️ How to Run
+Make sure Python is installed, then run:
+python hangman.py
+
+
+🎮 How to Play
+- A word is randomly selected.
+- Guess one letter at a time.
+- Correct guesses reveal letters in the word.
+- Incorrect guesses add parts to the hangman.
+- Win by guessing the word before the drawing is complete.
+- Lose if the hangman is fully drawn before you solve the word.
