for loop in hangman game

[L092y60M]

Ok here I have a program that reads a word from a text file randomly and matches it with the definition. The user has to guess what the word is according to the definition.

I'm having trouble with my for loop, I'm not getting any errors. But I just know something is off.

Here's my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string> 
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main(){
	int number;
	int count = 0;
	int numOfGuess = 0;
	string guess;
	string word;
	string definition;
	ifstream inFile;

	inFile.open("words.txt");
	
	srand(time(0));
	number = rand() % 10 + 1;
	
	for (int i = 0; i < number; i++)
	{
			getline(inFile, word, '#');
			getline(inFile, definition);
	}
	cout << word << endl;

	int l = word.length();
	
	while (numOfGuess <= 4){
		cout << "enter in guess: " << endl;
		cin >> guess;
		numOfGuess++;
		if (word == guess){
			cout << "you win!!!" << endl;
		}
		else
		for (int i = 0; i < l; i++){
			for (int j = 0; j < guess.length(); j++){

				if (guess[j] == word[i]){
					cout << word[i];
				}
				else
				if (guess[j] != word[i]){
					cout << " _";
					
				}
			}
		}
		
	}


	system("pause");
	return 0;

}

This is words.txt:

Based on your description, you want to print "definition" not "word" in line 28.

Otherwise, I don't see what's wrong with it. Maybe give more details of the sort of output you're expecting. Please allow for cultural differences, I'm not sure I know what hangman is, and if I played it as a kid, I must have completely blocked that memory out for some reason.

Here's my guess:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int number;
	int count = 0;
	int numOfGuess = 0;
	string guess;
	string word;
	string definition;
	ifstream inFile;
	
	inFile.open("word.txt");
	
	srand(time(0));
	number = rand() % 10 + 1;
	
	for (int i = 0; i < number; i++)
	{
		getline(inFile, word, '#');
		getline(inFile, definition);
	}
	cout << definition << endl;
	
	while (numOfGuess <= 4)
	{
		cout << "enter in guess: " << endl;
		cin >> guess;
		numOfGuess++;
		if (word == guess)
		{
			cout << "you win!!!" << endl;
			break;
		}
		else
		{
			if (numOfGuess > 4)
			{
				cout << numOfGuess << " guesses is the limit, goodbye." << endl;
			}
			else
			{
				string tmp(word.length(), '_');
				for (int i = 0; i < guess.length(); i++)
				{
					for (int j = 0; j < word.length(); j++) // better use string::find family here
					{
						if (guess[i] == word[j])
						{
							tmp[j] = guess[i];
						}
					}
				}

				cout << tmp << endl;
			}
		}
	}

	system("pause");
	return 0;
