This code is from a small game i've been working on over the past day or so, i know i shouldn't really post the whole code but i'm not entirely sure which part of the code is not working as intended, any help would be appreciated. the code is a hangman game and i am aware of the huge amount of repetition in the code but am unsure how to reduce it to one of every function that will work with each difficulty setting.

When i run this code the error i get is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "P:/Computer Science/Hangman All/Hangman v8.0.py", line 316, in <module>

word = random.choice(words).lower()
NameError: name 'words' is not defined
I'm not sure what is wrong with words or how to fix it.
