So what is the issue you are having with the printing?
Konig (5)
When the program runs it won't print out what they have already guessed, so it will just keep asking for guessed letters and not show what has been done already. it does not display letters correctly when they are guessed correctly.

I suggest you...

1. modify your load loop so it counts the actual number of words.

2. modify the display code so the letters that have already been guessed are displayed.

3. Replace this code; as it stands it makes no sense!

		for(int j=1;j<=6;j++)// Breaks the string into words
		{
			b[j] = a[i].substr(j-1, 1);
			if(inword==b[j])
				wordcount++;
		}
