Word Scrambler, works but not 100% could use some pointers

[chris213]

So I decided to make a little word scrambler as one of my first little starter projects.

It works, but I keep missing something that will recognize when the user guesses the correct word. the script is recognizing the scrambled word as the right word.

i know whats wrong in the code i think, just don't know how to fix it. maybe its the frustration thats preventing me from figuring it out lol.

i was going to take the easy way out by just having the user enter the word twice (taking place of the hint) but decided to look for better options.

 cout << "Enter word to be scrambled here: ";
    cin >> str;
    
    
    random_shuffle(str.begin(), str.end());
    
    cout << "Enter a hint if you wish.\n";
    cin >> hint;
    
    
    cout << endl << endl << endl << endl << endl << endl << endl <<endl;
    
    

    
    cout << "The word to be guessed is: " << str << '\n';
    cout << "Your hint is\n" << hint << '\n';
    cout << "You have 3 attempts, Enter your first guess here:\n" << endl;
    
    cin >> guess1;
    
    {
        if (guess1 != str) {
            cout << "Sorry Guess Again :( \n";
        cin >> guess2;
        }
        
        if (guess1 == str) {
            cout << "Congrats\n";
            return 0;
        }
        
      if (guess2 != str) {
        cout << "Sorry \n";
        cin >> guess3;
      }
        
        if (guess2 == str) {
            cout << "Congrats \n";
            return 0;
        }
        
        if (guess3 != str) {
            cout << "Sorry \n";
            cout << "The word was: " << str << endl;
        }
        
            
            
            if (guess3 == str) {
                cout << "Congrats" << endl;
                return 0;
            }
            
            
        }
        }

[boost lexical cast]

Because you check if the scrambled word is equal to guess. You scramble str on line 5. You should store the original word and the scrambled word in 2 different strings.

thank you.

int main()
{

    
    
    string originalword,str,hint,guess1,guess2,guess3;
    
    cout << "Enter word to be scrambled here: ";
    cin >> str;
    
    originalword = str;
    
    
    
    
    random_shuffle(str.begin(), str.end());

    
    
    
    
    
    cout << "Enter a hint if you wish.\n";
    cin >> hint;
    cout << endl << endl << endl << endl << endl << endl << endl <<endl;
    
    

    
    cout << "The word to be guessed is: " << str << '\n';
    cout << "Your hint is\n" << hint << '\n';
    cout << "You have 3 attempts, Enter your first guess here:\n" << endl;
    
    cin >> guess1;
    
    {
        if (guess1 != originalword) {
            cout << "Sorry Guess Again :( \n";
        cin >> guess2;
        }
        
        if (guess1 == originalword) {
            cout << "Congrats\n";
            return 0;
        }
        
      if (guess2 != originalword) {
        cout << "Sorry \n";
        cin >> guess3;
      }
        
        if (guess2 == originalword) {
            cout << "Congrats \n";
            return 0;
        }
        
        if (guess3 != originalword) {
            cout << "Sorry \n";
            cout << "The word was: " << str << endl;
        }
        
            
            
            if (guess3 == originalword) {
                cout << "Congrats" << endl;
                return 0;
            }
            
            
        }
        }
