At the moment the program will only reveal a letter if the users input matches the specified letter within the iteration.

What I would like to do is reveal a letter despite what iteration the user is on...e.g. if the user inputs "P" on the first iteration I want the program to reveal all the Ps" in happy.

Thanks!
