Hi everyone!
I am a class XII student. I have been asked to make a project using c++. I have decided to make a word game. The game's objective is:
* show a random jumbled word stored in a file
* ask the user to enter any valid words that comprise only of the letters available in that word
* no repetitions allowed
* score should be incremented by 10 times the length of the string
The file I used are: data.txt, words.txt, score.txt.
data.txt: for inputting the words
words.txt: list of 58,000 words
score.txt: to save the scores
This is my source code:

}The compiler shows no errors at all! But something is not right with my source code. I request you all to kindly go through it patiently and help me debug it. I experience the following problems:
1) When I Run start(); I don't get all the outputs, like check1, etc.
2) score is always zero
3) the high score displayed after start() is not the same as that viewed directly from menu()
Please help me out!!!
