Step 7: Define play_round function

This functions stimulates one round of the game and displays the result.

1. Takes an argument called word.
2. Initialise guesses to 1
3. Repeatedly ask the player for a guess by calling the function that gets player’s guess.
4. Compare the guess to the target word by comparing letter by letter.
5. 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
6. Stop if the user guesses the word correctly or after 6 guesses
7. Return a tuple where:
   • first argument is the number of guesses used
   • second argument is True if the word was guessed, otherwise False

💡 Hint

• You need a loop to allow the player up to 6 guesses and track the number of guesses used.
• Use another loop to access each position in the word with range(…) and display the result.

ℹ️

• Build your letter display string one character at a time.
• You may find it helpful to start with an empty display string such as display = "".

⭐

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

• After displaying, check if the guess matches the word (make sure letter case is consistent when comparing) or if the number of guesses has reached the maximum 6 to return the tuple with the correct arguments
  
• Otherwise, increment guesses and loop again.
