I'm working on a Pygame project where I want to change the way user inputs are handled. At the moment, whenever I press a matching key, it automatically shows the response. Instead, I want the key to only show when pressed, and then display the response when clicked a second time. I'm using a list to keep track of the guessed letters, but I'm struggling with how to manage that across multiple function calls. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

It looks like you're resetting your `guessed_letter` array every time `displayAnswers()` is called. Try making it a global variable or pass it in as a parameter so it keeps its values between calls. That should help with your logic issue!
Let me know if that fixes it. It's important to keep track of state in a loop like this!
I think you could use a simple list to track selected keys. If the input matches the last key pressed, show the response; otherwise, update and just notify that it’s selected. Here's a basic structure to illustrate:
```python
list=[]
while True:
x=input_key
if x!=list[-1]:
print(x, 'is selected, click again to display response')
else:
display_response
break
```
I'm already using a list for correct characters clicked. I need it to show the response only when a key is clicked again.
I originally had it outside the function, but I got confused and moved it inside. I'll change that back and see if it works!
