// Test creating a hangman game
const hangmanGame = createHangmanGame('hangman');

// Test initial values
console.log(hangmanGame.remainingGuesses === 6);
console.log(hangmanGame.guessedWord.join('') === '_______');
console.log(hangmanGame.guessedLetters.length === 0);

// Test handling guess
hangmanGame.handleGuess('h');
console.log(hangmanGame.remainingGuesses === 6);
console.log(hangmanGame.guessedWord.join('') === 'h______');
console.log(hangmanGame.guessedLetters.join('') === 'h');
