📌 Step 7: Define play_round function

This functions stimulates one round of the game.

1. Takes an argument called word.
2. Initialise guesses to 1
3. Create an initial game_state tuple of five underscores.
4. Repeatedly ask the player for a guess by calling the function that gets player guess.
5. Compare the guess to the target word.
   • Do this by comparing each letter.
6. Display each letter as:
   • uppercase if in correct position
   • lowercase if it is in the word but wrong position
   • as an underscore if not in the word
7. Stop if the user guesses the word correctly or after 6 guesses
8. Return a tuple where:
   • first argument is the number of guesses used
   • second argument is True is the word was guesses, otherwise False

💡 Hint

• You need a loop to allow the player up to 6 guesses.
• Start by setting guesses = 1.
• You can call get_player_guess() inside the loop to get each guess.
• Use range(len(word)) to loop through each position in the word.

ℹ️

• If guess[i] == word[i], the letter is correct and in the correct position.
• If guess[i] in word, the letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
• Otherwise, display _.

ℹ️

• Build the display string one character at a time.
• You may find it helpful to start with an empty display string such as display = "".
• Add a space after each symbol to match the required output format.

⭐

display = ""
for i in range(len(word)):
    if guess[i] == word[i]:
        display += guess[i].upper() + " "
