Explanation:

Display Word (displayWord):
- Shows the current state of the word with correctly guessed letters and underscores for unguessed letters.
Play Hangman (playHangman):
- Initializes the guessed vector to track guessed letters and attempts to the maximum number of wrong guesses allowed.
- Loops until the player either guesses the word or runs out of attempts.
- Checks if the guessed letter has been guessed before and updates the state of the word accordingly.
- Deducts an attempt for incorrect guesses and informs the player of their remaining attempts.
- Ends the game if the player has guessed all letters or exhausted attempts, displaying the outcome.
Main Function (main):
- Prompts the user to input the word to be guessed.
- Converts the word to uppercase to standardize the input.
- Calls playHangman to start the game.

Possible Enhancements:

Word Selection: Implement a dictionary of words and allow random selection or user-defined categories.
Input Validation: Add checks to ensure valid input (single letters only).
Enhanced UI: Create a graphical user interface or web interface for a more interactive experience.
Difficulty Levels: Adjust the number of attempts or add different difficulty levels.
