I once wrote C code for a hangman game. I took in a character and checked if it’s matching with any of the hidden characters. Long story short I did not code what should happen when the user inputs more than 1 character, but during testing I realized that it just analyzes every chracter one by one, and if you input the same characters multiple times it would just ignore it ofc. Making it possible to type a single character, multiple if you wanna be risky. Or the whole word. I liked it better than if it would work on a “guess” basis because it was way more fun, so I kept it that way. Have no idea why it does what it did, but it works.
better example is & and * in Rust. If someone tells me they can get them good the first try, TEACH ME, or they are lying. When it works it judt works don’t you dare touch them.
these things happened before chatGPT tho.

I think you basically made a Wordle version of hangman by accident there, lol.
