' Program: Hangman
' Author: Marvin Hunkin
' Version: 1.1
' Date:  Tuesday December 25, 2012
' Description: Playing a Hangman game.  You enter a letter to use a list of words loaded into memory.  You  then guess a six letter word, and use 13 guesses. At the end of 13 guesses, you get a message saying you either won or loss, and what the word was, and a number to exit the game being 1.  Added a couple of cool sound audio effects.

Module Module1

    ' Declare class level variables

    Dim WordMask As String = "------"
    Dim WordArray() As String
    Dim Talker As New SpeechSynthesizer
