c++ - how to compare string word to chat guess? -

i working on programme (hangman) , having problems comparing user input (char) word guessed (string) determine if guessed letter in word or not.

for reason, when come in letter part of word, still says not, , increments number of wrong guesses (numwrong).

could utilize afresh set of eyes, have no clue why not working.

thanks!

the problem in loop determine if letter correct. if finds right letter, loop doesn't end, , continues going through letters, changes false.

found = false; //move here set false default before loop starts for(int = 0; < word.length(); i++) { if(word[i] == guess) { found = true; break; //add here exit loop if letter found } }
