Hi, my first post in the community and, first of all, sorry about my english. In the game explained in the video, the app doesn't validate if the inserted word is contained in the randomly chosen word, does it? I was trying to write the code on my own and I was supposed to do it in that way but in the video does not do it, is correct? Thanks a lot David

13,660 PointsOh sorry, I thought that in my post were included the tags referring to the video. In Python Collections course, in the sets section, the last video, "Out of this word" Thank you very much!

I think this video just wanted to show you how to compare sets. This seems like it would be a fun game to build off of though......how would you make it better? I'm thinking you could take the random word and the given word, turn them into lists, then check that each character is in the list.
