Fix: Hard difficulty now generates 6-letter words in Daily Challenge mode

🐛 Bug Fix

Problem

The Hard difficulty level in Daily Challenge mode was incorrectly generating 5-letter words instead of the expected 6-letter words. This inconsistency affected the difficulty progression and user experience.

Root Cause

The issue was in the fetchWord() function where the Daily Challenge mode was using a hardcoded word list with 5-letter words regardless of the selected difficulty level. The function wasn't properly utilizing the getDailyWord(length) function that respects the difficulty settings.

Solution

• Fixed Daily Challenge word generation: Modified the fetchWord() function to properly use getDailyWord(length) instead of hardcoded word selection
• Maintained difficulty consistency: Now Hard difficulty correctly generates 6-letter words in Daily Challenge mode
• Code cleanup: Removed redundant timer clearing code that was causing potential issues

Changes Made

• File: script.js
  • Replaced hardcoded daily word selection logic with proper getDailyWord(length) function call
  • Removed unnecessary clearInterval(timer) call that was redundant
  • Ensured difficulty settings are respected in Daily Challenge mode:
    • Easy: 4-letter words
    • Medium: 5-letter words
    • Hard: 6-letter words ✅

Testing

• Verified Hard difficulty generates 6-letter words in Daily Challenge mode
• Confirmed other difficulty levels still work correctly
• Tested non-Daily Challenge mode remains unaffected
• Ensured no regression in existing functionality

Screenshots/Evidence

The difficulty settings are now properly mapped:

const difficultySettings = {
    easy: 4,
    medium: 5,
    hard: 6  // Now correctly used in Daily Challenge mode
};
