You will be prompted with the rules:

Welcome to the Phrase Hunting game!
- Win by guessing all the letters!!
- Lose by missing five (5) guesses!
- Quit with `<control>+C` or `<control>+D`

A valid guess is a single letter from the English Alphabet. Case doesn't matter.

Modding the game

You can modify the class variable, Game.phrases to hunt different phrases.

Follow the examples there:

class Game():
    phrases = [
        Phrase('Hello World'),
        Phrase('Hello Mother'),
        Phrase('Hello Father'),
        Phrase('Here I am at'),
        Phrase('Camp Granada'),
    ]

There are five but it can be modified to have as many or as little as desired!
Phrases must be a string of at least one word made of only letters and spaces
The program will throw an error with message when provided an invalid phrase
The game will not start unless all phrases pass the validation checks
