Are you expecting it to print?

Can you share your code? @south rivet

[south rivet]

im sorry having trouble sharing it. i shared everything but it tells me to use a pastebin and its my first time using this

[calm berry]

copy and paste

[south rivet]

i did that but it just deletes the code

[proven mesa]

By that they mean't don't copy/paste

you should use the pastebin

!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

Alright. And what are you expecting it to do?

[south rivet]

ok so the problem with this is, the code runs fine, the hangman games works perfectly. the issue is theres a function at the end called hangman_with_hints and through that function the code is supposed to print possible other words that match the word we are currently guessing. we are supposed to see the matches when we type an asterisk. but when i do that nothing happens and i cant seem to find the issue

theres a part of the code at the end that says when you uncomment these two lines and comment the following lines you play a hangman game where you get to use hints. i do that and it still doesn't work

[proven mesa]

Did you write this code?

[south rivet]

no i wrote the difficult functions using AI

[proven mesa]

Ah, so you cheated

[south rivet]

its been a few months since i started writing i really can't type code properly myself 🥲

[proven mesa]

Well, that's cause you're using AI

How are you going to learn that way?

Anyways, what have you done so far to debug/narrow down the issue?

[south rivet]

i thought the issue was with match_with_gaps

that it hasnt been called in any function?

[proven mesa]

Looks like show_possible_matches calls it

[south rivet]

oh so it's been called through that function. another thing i thought might've been the issue was in the hangman function i use .isalpha() to check if the user is typing any other character, so obviously if i type and asterisk is would've caused the user to lose a warning. so i added a statement that didnt remove a warning when an asterisk is type but it just doen't type anything when i do that
