In the hangman game (easy mode), duplicate letters still takes subtracts an attempt #2

When playing the hangman game, entering the same letter repeatedly like d still shows Whoops! that letter is not present in the word and the remaining attempts is subtracted by one. Perhaps the user should be notified that he used that character before just like when he managed to find a correct letter?

Team's Response

This feature is actually designed. Since system has already metioned the guess letter is wrong, players should not input that letter again. If they do continue enter the wrong letter, the system will penalize player, thus, subtracting an attempt. Thank you!

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: I disagree that the issue should be rejected as I find it unfair to penalise the user twice for entering the same wrong character. The user may forget that he has guessed the letter and he should not be penalised again. In a real hangman game, I don't think users are penalised twice?

Also, since guessing a correct letter again does not penalise the user, I think that the program should not penalise the user twice for guessing a wrong character to be more consistent in how it handles the penalties?
