Can You Outsmart the System?

Unleash the power of words in a high-stakes battle of wits! A text-based challenge where every word is a strategic weapon—with a cost. Some forces can be overcome with strength, others with grace, logic, or something entirely unexpected. You have a limited set of choices. Choose carefully.

In this challenge, you will play a text-based game where you need strategically select words to "beat" system-generated words. Every word costs money, and the goal is to spend as little as possible while avoiding penalties.

🚀 The Challenge

Create a game where:

1. The system provides a word each round (e.g., Tornado, Hammer, Pandemic).
2. The player must choose a word from a predefined list that "beats" the system's word.
3. Each word the player picks has a cost ($) assigned to it—stronger words are more expensive.
4. If the player fails to beat the system's word, they incur a penalty ($ loss).
5. The game lasts 5 rounds, and the goal is to finish with as little money spent as possible.

🔍 How the Game Works

1. System generates a word (e.g., Flood).
2. Player selects a word from the predefined list (e.g., Drought).
3. The game checks if the player’s word “beats” the system’s word.
   • ✅ If the player’s word wins, only its cost is deducted.
   • ❌ If the player fails, a penalty is incurred.
