I have filtered the get input from the page to get the session variable.
Then checked if the sessions array is set and redirected to the play.php with parameter p set to the session number I got from filter input.
<?php
session_start();
$word1 = htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['word'][1]);
$word2 = htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['word'][2]);
$word3 = htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['word'][3]);
$word4 = htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['word'][4]);
$word5 = htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['word'][5]);
$page = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'p', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
if(!isset($_SESSION['word'])) {
header("Location: play.php?p=$page");
exit;
}
include 'inc/header.php';
echo '<h1>My Treehouse Story</h1>';
echo '<p>There once was a(n) ' . $word1;
echo ' programmer named ' . $word2;
echo '. </p>';
echo '<p>This ' . $word3;
echo ' programmer used Treehouse to learn to ' . $word4;
echo ' the ' . $word5 . '.</p>';
echo ' <a class="btn btn-default btn-lg" href="#" role="button">Save Story</a>';
echo ' <a class="btn btn-default btn-lg" href="play.php" role="button">Play Again</a>';
echo ' <a class="btn btn-default btn-lg" href="index.php" role="button">Other Stories</a>';
include 'inc/footer.php';
