I got a little wild and added levels and lives into the mix, which complicated things a bit. Not sure my conditions nested inside of nested conditions situation is really goals, but it does technically work. I made a function called LevelClue() because I envision the prompt to guess changing with the HiddenWord as we progress to the end level eventually.
If at max level (5), game over prints a winning message.
If at 0 lives, game over prints a losing message with the correct answer.
Pressing Enter at game over clears the screen, resets the game, and prints the welcome message again.
