+# Hangman Game
+
+## Introduction
+
+This Hangman game is a simple Python program that allows players to guess a word letter by letter.
+
+## How to Play
+
+1. Run the Python script in your terminal or IDE.
+2. The game will choose a random word from a list of fruits.
+3. The player's task is to guess the word by entering one letter at a time.
+4. The game will display the word with underscores representing the unguessed letters.
+5. The player has a limited number of chances to guess the correct word.
+6. Enter letters to guess, and the game will provide feedback if the letter is correct or not.
+7. If the player guesses the entire word before running out of chances, they win!
