So, lately, I was making this game on python Tkinter where the computer gives me a random word and I have to type out the words and letters I see in the word give to me, so the problem here is that, "ans" is an entry widget and I want it to work like once I am done typing the word or letter I see in the given word I should press the enter key and when I press the enter key the computer should see whatever is written inside the widget and take it inside a variable so that I can type that variable as the text of the label present on the right side (a1-a18) of the screen, and on pressing enter it should do all that and also delete everything that was previously written inside the entry widget
def word():

rt.title("the minion game")

if someone has any idea how I can do that and where to add it inside this code pls do tell me.
Thankyou
Try this:
def word():
global ans
...
ans = Entry(side, ...)
ans.grid(...)
ans.bind("<Return>", enter_pressed)
...
def enter_pressed(event):
print(ans.get())
ans.delete(0, "end")
Also I suggest that you look at some programming tutorials and this.
