i need some help
During this period of lockdown, many people started to play different games at their homes since
they could not go outside. One of the simplest games is Play_With_Asterisks, which is played by
two people. This game is played with a word of nine letters. The first player draws nine asterisks
on a piece of paper – one for each letter in the word. The second player must guess a letter in
the word. The player should guess one letter at a time. When the second player guesses the
correct letter, the first player replaces the appropriate asterisk or asterisks with a letter. For
example, if the original word is fortunate and the second player guesses t, the first player
changes the nine asterisks on the paper with ***t***t*. If the second player guesses all of the
letters or makes 18 incorrect attempts, then the game is over. Write a C++ program that will allow
players to play on mobile devices.
The program should display a message indicating the number of incorrect guesses remaining.
This should be displayed each time the player enters an incorrect guess. (See the screenshot
below)
The program should convert both the 9 – letter word and the letter to uppercase.

Please post a copy of the screenshot. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding how this game works and the strategies involved without it.
So far I've come up with far too many possibilities so the picture must be the key:

PS Did you realize there are about 16 words in the English language that suit f**k, about 33 for c**t and 17 for t?t?
Without that screenshot, it's gonna be hell.

this sounds like hangman, did they have to PC out drawing the little guy because noose?!
It used to be a popular early project in classrooms, and all that implies about the code examples on the web.

Some states in the US still have hanging as an allowed form of execution! ^^
I think one still has firing squad...?
But they don't ever use it... boring.

Perhaps 'blowing from a gun' could become a welcome relief to execution boredom. It could even become a novel change of theme to @OP's game graphics.

@gonads. Not at all.
I definitely don't care - about the stalking or the stalker - I think it's hilarious that he thinks otherwise as he stamps his foot with his underlines and his capitalized shouts.
The neurosis is all his. A tired and very old wanker non-entity who suffers from never being taken notice of. Every office has one.
Where is his help? Where are his solutions. Where are his working programs?

TryAgain, I didn't know you cared so much. I'm flattered. Too bad I can't reciprocate.
You mean you're flattened grandpa. You've never had so much attention since your nurse showed you how to fit your bag.
As soon as I mentioned your bag you've become over-excited grandpa and have been stalking me even more. Now that's really kinky of you for an oldie to get off on that. For the rest of us all we get is your smell.
If you look at the record creepyCoder you'll see that @dhayden is the troll here. I don't take kindly to bullies and the old man has a well established trail that will close in on him.
You can take side if you like - weak pissants like your type always do.
Look at your achievements here too - nothing but nerdish and dreary nothingness.

I have the screenshot but how do I do to send it here. is there an option to insert an image here?
Not possible, but you can put the screenshot up on Pinterest or some other accessible platform and post the reference so we can use/see it.
Aside from that and the joking etc there are many, many, many Hangman programs around and Googling 'C++ Hangman' gives you programs & videos in vast quantities.
However, none of that stops you from making the first step and showing us you attempt at writing some initial code.
