The list of (optional) extended characters are uppercased just like all other single letters in messages output to the user are uppercased. (Uppercased letters stand out more and are tradionally used in Hangman games.)
Problem: there is no separate uppercase letter for ß (sharp s), so it gets automatically (and correctly) uppercased to SS, resulting in the output "Sorry, but 'SS' isn't a valid guess! Try again." when ß is input by the user... which doesn't make sense/is unnecessarily confusing.
Needed: a separate list for letters that mustn't be changed when they are output.
