Text File
How do you make a text file for a program? I know you use like notepad but what do you put in the text file. Like if I want a ljst of words for a hangman game, do I have just list the words or so I have to put it in c++ code form

Not sure what you are asking.
Is it to make a c++ application using notepad or have a c++ application that operates on a text file?

I made a hangman game and instead of listing 100 words in the actual program I want to call a text file thatbhas the words in it

You can just list the words.

The program can read in ascii and binary; not a problem.
Parse it with space or newline.
File>>aString;//takes a string from file, delimited by space and newline.
getline(File,aString);//takes a whole line from file, delimited by newline; can simply be a single word - dependent on how you inserted data into your text file.
