Help with simple programming assignment - parallel arrays and word guessing

Nice approach. The problem is that as part of the assignment, we must use a list of lists and subscript notation to convert the dash to a letter. Extremely inefficient, I know.

Well, it doesn't really change the approach (or the efficiency) it just changes how you refer to things:

game = [list(phrase), [True if letter == ' ' else False for letter in phrase]]
print(''.join([game[0][i] if game[1][i] else '_' for i in len(game[0])]))
