Hello,
I am trying to do the following :
1) Ask user for the length of the word that he'd like to guess (for
hangman game).
2) Pick a random word from /usr/share/dict/words (which I understand
is not the best choice for hangman).
3) Call a function that would pick a random word to proceed further

Hello,
@Hugo Arts : Thank you! That was awesome to read. Thanks for the len()
suggestion.
