Hi fellow OCW student,
I have one more question about the hangman game.

http://pastebin.com/gkKuk53f

Here is my code. I'm trying to write a function that goes through available letters and return a value if it wasn't used before or re-ask to input a value if it was used before. Are there any suggestions ?
The longer function is my main body.

You could make a list of guessed letters, and check to see if the current guess is not in that list.

That's your code? You DO realize that hangman is going to require a pellet ton more work than that. That's not even scratching the surface. Go to the invent with python (I think[it could be another one like think python or think like a computer scientist]) hangman its got all the source and explains everything.
