If you can tell I'm quite new to C so any help will be appreciated.
This is a game about hangman, you guess words that are located within words.txt
words.txt is formatted like this:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5

As you see from this video, it adds an extra underscore but removes it once the screen is cleared. The issue does not appear on the second word.
