Python Hangman游戏难度选择异常：secretWord始终返回固定值

问题根源 #

• 未接收难度函数返回值：调用difficultySelector()后没有将返回的随机单词赋值给全局secretWord变量，导致后续代码使用的secretWord是环境残留的beautiful（或直接触发未定义错误）。
• 变量初始化顺序错误：调用hangmanGraphics(wrongCounter)时，wrongCounter还未定义，程序会抛出NameError。
• 猜字母逻辑错误：当前通过secretWord[noOfGuesses] == userGuess按位置匹配字母，而非检查字母是否存在于单词中，不符合Hangman游戏的常规规则。

    # 修复：判断字母是否在单词中，增加重复猜字母的处理

    print(f"Sorry, you lost. The correct word was: {secretWord}")

关键修复说明 #

1. 接收返回值：将difficultySelector()的返回结果赋值给全局secretWord，确保不同难度能获取对应列表的随机单词。
2. 调整初始化顺序：先初始化wrongCounter等变量，再调用依赖这些变量的函数，避免未定义错误。
3. 修正猜字母逻辑：改为判断字母是否存在于单词中，同时处理重复猜字母的情况，符合游戏常规规则。
4. 优化显示逻辑：previousInputs函数中未猜对的位置显示_而非空格，提升视觉清晰度；增加游戏结束的结果提示。
