ver = 0.01
#import the random library of functions\commands
import random
global guess

#function to check players guess

            print ('Please only guess a single letter.')
            checkGuess()
        elif guess in secretWord:
            print (guess)
            n = n+1
            checkGuess()
        elif guess not in secret:

            print ('Nope.')
