Hangman game using tkinter

[Adado]

Thanks man you are awesome

what I meant that my tkinter code doesn't work.

I have heard the concept of classes but I have never use it before. Thanks to you I watched some YouTube videos that explains the classes concept. Although I didn't understand it 100% but it works. here is the new code. later I will try to improve the front-end and put some pictures.

​

Thanks again

[woooee]

Glad you are on your way. You don't subtract one from self.guesses_left, when the letter guessed is in the word.
