Hints 2/2

Revealing the Hint

The second phase of the hint mechanism is called show_possible_matches. This function displays the word from the file (word_from_list) if it corresponds to the current configuration of the gameword.

Task

Swipe to start coding

Define the show_possible_matches function with word_to_match as a parameter.
Initialize a for loop to iterate through the elements in test_word_list.
Append an element to the possible_matches list if hints_match returns True.
Check if the possible_matches list is empty and set a corresponding condition.

Solution

def show_possible_matches(word_to_match):

possible_matches=[]

for word in test_word_list:

if hints_match(word_to_match, word):

possible_matches.append(word)

if len(possible_matches) == 0:

return 'No matches found'

else:

return ' '.join(possible_matches)
