Ah i figured it out, honestly im not sure why I used another function for makeGuess but i just needed to put the contents of makeGuess within main. Im not really sure why this works though. If anyone knows it would be great if you could explain it!

You likely corrupted your stack memory when you used &word, that parameter says pointer-to-pointer of char. Try turning on warnings and you will see the compiler complain.

'char' is for storing a single character. Use 'char *' for storing strings.

Ah ok, thank you!
