/**
 * Game of Word
 * <p>
 * Based on the BASIC game of Word here
 * https://github.com/coding-horror/basic-computer-games/blob/main/96%20Word/word.bas
 * <p>
 * Note:  The idea was to create a version of the 1970's BASIC game in Java, without introducing
 * new features - no additional text, error checking, etc has been added.
 *
 * Converted from BASIC to Java by Darren Cardenas.
